Since we have identified the tanks now and the capacities for most of them, name the tanks in the Forward torpedo room and in the Officer's quarters...

I'll get the important one out first - Torpedo Alcohol Tank is in the for Forward Torpedo Room. But the two compartments do have a lot of tanks... ;D
This is fun! Thanks Darrin, another great assignment.
-
There are mulitiple tanks in the Forward Torpedo Room and the Officers quarters and while I have to agree that the Alcohol tank is/was one of the most important tank in both area's the question still remains. ;)

Ok folks on this one it appears that I need to help a little with tracking this one down..... when you go to the Fleet Submarine Manual and look up the tanks section you will find a diagram of the layout of these tanks. good luck folks and thanks for the words of encouragment not to stop these
Darrin :idiot2:

I'll list a few but not all.
Forward Torpedo Room tanks include:
Torpedo Oil Tank
Hydraulic Emergency Vent and Replenishing Tank
Mineral Oil Tank
Three Reseve Hydraulic Oil Tanks
Poppet Valve Drain Tank
Forward Water Round Torpedo Tank
#1 Sanitary Tank (remember blowing sanitaries?)
Forward Battery (Officers Quarters) include:
#1 and 2 Fresh Water Tanks
Battery Water Tank
This will leave you a few more major tanks in each compartment. #1 Sanitary is located in one of the other tanks. The rest should be easy.

Great job JT, ok folks now it is time for a couple more of you to step up to the plate and help JT out so we can move on to the next subject.

:D Not bad Lance, let's see what Darrin says
-
Great job with that one Lance, ya got all of them. :)
-
What does the "WRT" stand for in the WRT Tank? I didn't look real hard, but I couldn't find a definition.
-
Water Round Torpedo - The WRT tanks are normally used to flood or drain the torpedo tubes through their flood and drain lines. The forward trim tank can also be used to either supply or remove water to the WRT tanks through their flood and drain valves to the WRT tanks.

Ooooh boy I've got a lot to learn. Nowhere to go but up from here. :)

Make sure on one sends you looking for a golden rivet or a left hand monkey wrench. The nuc guys might send you looking for a primary loop.
You''ll learn quick. Get a can of diesel oil and keep it open in the kitchen, in fact instead of those house fresheners, use diesel oil. A little in the coffee will help too. :crazy2:
-
I had a group of ROTC kids clean the galley. Darned kids sued 2 cans of lysol air freshener to get the "smell" out . It took me 3 weeks to get it smealling back to normal........... :knuppel2:
-
A little off topic, but I believe if we could create a candle or an air freshener that smelled like the inside of a diesel submarine, we could make millions! :2funny:
-
Mabe a few dollars but not millions. Remember wives hated the smell of diesel.
-
There is also an emergency fresh water tank in FTR and a hot water heater (tank) in Forward Battery.
-
The hot water tank for officer country on the Batfish is located in a pantry across from the steward's food prep room. It looks to be about 30 gallons. The water didn't have far to go to get to the shower on the other side of the bulkhead.
-
I had forgotten about that emergency fresh water tank fwd and the water heater, and I even saw it last weekend when I was on the boat and honestly I think that the ALCOHOL tank is more usefull then the Officers shower even though it is in the Fwd Torpedo Room. ;)
-
Lance, never know where these replies end up, so am replying to A little off topic, but I believe if we could create a candle or an air freshener that smelled like the inside of a diesel submarine, we could make millions! That reminded me of one of Fibber McGee's radio programs, the show of 05-18-48; Fibber sets out to make a cologne that captures the essence of baseball. He wants it to include the fragrances of fresh mown grass, baseball glove leather, and cigar smoke, among other things. It was pretty funny.
