Design Recommendations for Medical Materiel Storage Aboard U.S.S. Nautilus (SSN-571)

Abstract

Previous designs of submarine medical lockers were studied and the material medical needs for subject vessel were discussed during the process of development of design recommendations for medical lockers and other related recommendations. Dimensions were specified for (1) a main medical locker in the sick bay within the stern compartment of the ships; (a) an auxilliary sick call locker in the crew's mess room; and (3) a bulk storage locker in the control room. It is felt that ample space is allotted beyond the critical needs for stowage of the present SS type allowance list, so that design may be made flexible enough to accommodate future anticipated changes in the allowance list, as well as changes in packaging design of individual allowed items among different contractors who supply these items.
