Reports indicate that during a six-month patrol on a Royal Navy nuclear submarine, crew members faced severe food shortages, leading to fatigue and concerns over potential loss of life. Medical staff warned that the restrictions on movement and enforced sharing of supplies may have caused concentration lapses, endangering critical duties as sailors were limited to conserving energy.
A source described the situation on the submarine as 'miserable', emphasizing that off-duty crew members were advised to sleep to avoid using excess calories. The lack of adequate food supplies resulted in a stressful environment, where psychological and physical health were compromised due to the strict conservation measures in place.
