The Habitability Program for Submarines, Airships and Certain Other Long Duration Military Task Units; Principles of Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of habitability programs is, in general, to increase the efficiency of the personnel. Specifically: (1) To increase the general physical and mental well-being of the personnel by providing physical arrangements which enable them to sleep restfully, eat with satisfaction, work with confidence and relax with ease. (2) To promote a state of mind which causes the personnel to anticipate a return to cruise duty with agreeableness or with pleasure. (3) To minimize, as far as consistent with operational efficiency, decided differences between the habits and customs established by fifteen to twenty years of American home life and the living conditions aboard a ship. (4) To increase the satisfaction of each individual with his own work and stimulate pride in his particular ship.
