The number of bunks has nothing to do with the watchkeeping system.creddly said:I've just found out that the new Astute-class Submarines will have a bunk for each Submariner!
Just wondering how that will affect the 6-on-6-off rota!? :???:

Course he is telling porkies we all lived above the Galley in Dolphin, (Vulcan Block was it) except the RA's who fecked off home every night leaving us victualed men to do their duties. Perhaps thats why I was always pissed the first few days at sea getting all my debts for duties collected.

I also gathered that the 6-on-6-off was the absolute one and only work pattern.
