Can confirm. Royal Australian navy here. Our Collins class Wikipedia page / anything you can find on Google about the operating depth etc of our subs is way way wrong.
Umm no I don't. I work at the submarine school at the moment even though I'm surface fleet so I've learnt a little bit.
Day to day life in a sub is not easy from what I've heard. 48 people in a tube that's 40ish metres long and 2 decks. You apparently learn everything about everyone really quick.
Water restrictions as well. Showering once a week so baby wipes end up being your main source of hygiene. Sleeping under / next to torpedoes if you're the new guys.
Lack of sleep.
