I'm not a Navy guy but that sub looks to be the size of a modern torpedo. Definitely took some nerve to crew one of those.

In 1905 Theodore Roosevelt became the first U. S. president to take a submerged ride.

He was so impressed with the hazards and hardships of the duty that he instituted submarine pay for crew members.
