Nope. Everyone has damage control responsibilities at all times. Even while sleeping.

The consumption of alcohol on Royal Navy submarines is governed by Submarine General Orders. Personnel on duty may not consume alcohol while on board Royal Navy submarines and off-duty consumption is tightly regulated to ensure that individuals are fit for duty if required at short notice.
(a) Except as may be authorized by the Secretary of the Navy, the intro- duction, possession or use of alcoholic beverages on board any ship, craft, air- craft, or in any vehicle of the Depart- ment of the Navy is prohibited.
“The use or introduction for drinking purposes of alcoholic liquors on board any naval vessel, or within any navy yard or station, is strictly prohibited, and commanding officers will be held directly responsible for the enforcement of this order,” reads the hundred year-old order.
The rum ration (also called the tot) was a daily amount of rum given to sailors on Royal Navy ships. It was abolished in 1970 after concerns that the intake of strong alcohol would lead to unsteady hands when working machinery.
Canada's navy has imposed a near-total ban on its sailors from drinking while at sea. Previously, sailors were permitted to drink while off duty; now they will only be allowed to on special occasions at the captain's discretion.
The rum ration was abolished in 1972, due to concerns that a swig in the middle of the day would hinder sailors' ability to operate weapons and complex tools. But Canadian sailors are still free to purchase beer or wine when off duty.
In 2010, the Navy successfully implemented a comprehensive smoking ban aboard submarines.
Everybody is aware that smoking is a legal, if harmful, stress reliever. So the Navy banned smoking aboard submarines not with the stated purpose of curing the smokers, but of protecting nonsmoking submarine crew members from the threat of heart and lung disease from secondhand smoke.
In the enclosed atmosphere of the submarine, these pollutants can build up and pose a health risk. Therefore, aerosol cans (such as hair spray, shave cream, spray deodorant) are not authorized to be brought on board.
Active duty members risk their military careers when drinking excessively or using drugs because they may be forced to leave without an honorable discharge.
Without exception, use of tobacco products is prohibited in all DON leased and controlled spaces, including the interior of vessels and military aircraft.
FAA regulations prohibit passengers from drinking alcohol on board the aircraft unless it is served by the air carrier.
With that being said, your next question may instantly be “How long should I stay in the shower for?” The easy answer is, as long as you want but traditionally should be between 3-5 minutes.
The pressure of water in the power plant of a nuclear submarine is more than the atmospheric pressure, so the boiling point temperature of the water reaches above 100∘ C 100 ∘ C .
Most submarines have a distillation apparatus that can take in seawater and produce fresh water. The distillation plant heats the seawater to water vapor, which removes the salts, and then cools the water vapor into a collecting tank of fresh water.
Amine fills the air
You are probably wondering why I would call this post such thing... Since Submarines remain submerged with a sealed atmosphere they rely on a chemical called Amine to remove the carbon dioxide. This chemical makes everything stink.
Where do people sleep on the submarine? The submarine is divided into rooms called compartments. Four of the compartments are available for sleeping. These are the Forward Torpedo Room (10 bunks), After Torpedo Room (10 bunks), Crew's Quarters (36 bunks) and Officers' Quarters (3, 4 and 5 bunks).
No, it will be fine. Pressure inside the submarine is well controlled and essentially the same as regular atmospheric pressure.
The inside of the submarine is maintained at normal atmospheric conditions, and so it feels no different to being on the surface. Therefore even at the bottom of the ocean your ears will NOT be affected.
The Navy is banning all electronic cigarettes and vaping devices from its aircraft, ships, boats, and submarines after a string of incidents caused physical injuries to sailors.
Members may wear coloured nail polish, artificial nails, temporary lashes, and eyelash extensions, unless it impairs the members' safety or ability to perform their duties. Safety and operational effectiveness must be considered at all times. Tattoos. Tattoos are permitted.
Consumption of alcohol in the NWUs off-base is not permitted. Consumption of alcohol in the NWUs on base is authorized as promulgated by Regional Commanders. The Area or Regional Commander may further restrict uniform policies within their geographical limits regarding wear of the NWUs.
Only United States citizens, U.S. non-citizen nationals, Canadian-born North American Indians, and aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence, are citizenship eligible for enlistment in the U.S. Navy or Navy Reserve.
