Why do submariners have ‘coffin dreams’?

The Why Factor

Available for over a year

Lt Cmdr Charlie Neve has spent almost 40 years in the submarine service working in cramped conditions for up to 100 days at a time. In this clip he describes sleeping arrangements and why the legacy of life on board can stay with submariners long after they’ve stopped going to sea.
