Seeing those two sailors, I'm guessing the ExO and his baw, really gives contrast to how frickin huge it was.

They weren't that big actually. The Skipjack class was about 100' shorter than today's fast attacks... and about half the size of a missile sub.

It may look big, but those earlier Nuclear subs had almost zero room below deck.
