Today's atomic powered subs can stay under water forever. They only surface to re-supply for the men (food and hygiene materials). Living on a modern atomic sub is like living in a small room. Prior to nuclear subs, the diesel powered vessels were nick-named PIG BOATS because it was like living under the hood of your car, sleeping/eating/living with the car's engine.
