What would it then mean to that nickname if I mentioned that I got my username from the band Sonic Youth.

Would you be more comfortable if I had asked, "Would you want to be a submariner?"
Not a fan of enclosed spaces myself.

Claustrophobic? I didn't mind the enclosed spaces much. After all, as a hole snipe myself, ya don't get to see the sun much and some of those areas can get pretty tight (workin in the boiler... some of the tubes... under the deckplates and down in the bilges, ect, ect.) I got to tour the Drum down in 'Bama harbor and kinda liked it. Unfortunately today's subs are p'much all nukes and I wasn't nuke q'd so... no sub duty for this ol' seadog.

Depends how small the space is.
Were you a BT or MM?
Reminds me of when I first got to my ship and some guys in my division tried to prank me by sending me for a bucket of steam.
I just happened to already know an MM on my ship (went to HS with him) so I went and found a bucket, some duct tape and a piece of cardboard and went with him down to the boiler room. I turned the bucket upside down over a steam valve while he opened it. Once there was plenty of steam released into the bucket I slid the cardboard underneath and taped it closed.
I then took the bucket back to my division, and much to their surprise presented them with their requested bucket of steam.
Never got messed with after that.

BT. Bucket of steam, eh? My first 'prankin' was to take a broom handle and do a steam leak search. Needless to say when I actually found one it wasn't a prank anymore. Of course I damn near shit my keeks when the broom fell in two pieces like it was butter cut with a hot knife.

Was that the steam that you can't see that is super hot?

Yeah. Superheated Steam has no vapor trail so you can't see it like normal. One fella I worked with had found that out before I shipped with him. He had a perfect scar that went around his wrist. Cleanest thing I've ever seen. He said he never lost a drop of blood either. Cut and cauterized in the blink of an eye. Pretty strange and weird stuff.

While I don't work with Superheated Steam, I'm involved with running and using steam sterilizers (I don't fix them though). The highest we get to is ~134 degrees C. That description of that guy's wrist sent a chill down my spine.
The steam boiler that runs the steam sterilizers is in a plant room about 7 levels above. One day the steam level just dropped to 0 in seconds. Turns out that a worker going through the plantroom to get on the roof out of the back of the plantroom kicked a pipe at the base of the boiler. Said pipe came off and blasted the liquid from the boiler up on to the ceiling. The guy that kicked the pipe? Very luck, as nothing happened to him.

Yeah. The old fuel ships (non nuke) use superheated steam running at two different pressures... 600 PSI superheated and 1200 PSI superheated. The temp (of the steam) I don't remember but I do know that most people think of steam like what they see coming out of a tea kettle. Superheated steam simply is so hot... so dry that it doesn't condense upon contact with normal air which means you cannot see it with the naked eye, so we used broomsticks to find any leaks. Fortunately you can still hear a leak so that's some help.
