It’s gotta be HOT as a mf in there. I can remember the AC going out from time to time and being hot, but the whole ship? Damn…

Easily 90° in the berthing spaces, guaranteed. All that body heat in a metal box with the sun beating on it? No fucking thanks. It got up to 80° in the boat when I was in the Gulf, and I was in a submarine.

There is no way it's that cool. It's 85 outside in the air. It has to be 105+ in there.

I'm glad you two chimed in, with actual experience. This was my first thought - imagine being adrift cooking inside a giant Dutch oven, with like 300 other people and zero space. FML
