Rear Admiral Freeland Allen Daubin, commander of US submarines in the Atlantic, says the submarine service is the safest in the Navy though stringent physical and mental standards filter applicants. Submarine crews endure long patrols with little sun and must rely on themselves, making tough, resourceful men essential. The Navy notes a pull toward aviation and offers perks like pay boosts, better amenities, and postwar civilian training, while Daubin highlights the chance to sink Japanese ships as a key lure.
