#8: Taking Brief Showers

A Reddit user captured the rhythm of an accurate five-minute shower aboard a Virginia-class submarine. It’s not about rushing—it’s about precision. Step in, get wet, turn the water off, soak thoroughly, and then turn the water back on just long enough to rinse.

After that, grab a squeegee and wipe down the shower walls. Every drop of water is precious, and the process reflects the constant need to conserve. It’s not glamorous, but it’s part of the routine. In the tight, resource-limited world below the surface, even a simple shower becomes a careful, practiced ritual.
