Bunks on a Submarine

All 7 parts, explained

1. 1. Sleeping

   A crew member sleeps in the top bunk, wrapped in a warm blue blanket.

   Fun fact Some crew members sleep in the day, because they work at night.

2. 2. Lower bunk

   The lower bunk has its own pillow, blanket, light and a small net for belongings.

   Fun fact Each bunk is a tiny private space with a curtain.

3. 3. Curtains

   Curtains close in front of each bunk to keep out the light and give some privacy.

   Fun fact Lights stay on in some parts of the submarine all the time.

4. 4. Lockers

   Clothes and belongings are kept in small lockers and drawers along the walls.

   Fun fact Each crew member brings only a little, because there is so little room.

5. 5. Folding towels

   A crew member folds towels and puts them away neatly in a cupboard.

   Fun fact Folding things small saves space in the tiny cupboards.

6. 6. Reading light

   Each bunk has a small lamp, so the crew can read without waking anyone else.

   Fun fact Reading and listening to music help the crew relax before sleep.

7. 7. Corridor

   A narrow corridor runs along the submarine, past the bunks to the quiet workspace.

   Fun fact Two people have to turn sideways to pass each other in the corridor.
