The crew's mess was the
gathering place for the crew. In addition to the three meals
a day served here, there was also soup and sandwiches for
the off hour watches. Food was never short on a
sub.
Backgammon and checker
boards were built into the table tops to help relieve
boredom, and occasionally it was the location of a
boisterous poker game.
The crew's mess was also
the "Movie theater". A projector was set up after evening
meal, and late release movies (sometimes) were shown on a
screen about the size of a tv.
The Sonar room ('60's)
was directly below the crew's mess. If you wanted to come up
out of the room, you had to press a buzzer and wait for
someone to yell that it was clear to come up.
