I did something fairly similar, which is why I wound up with the x5 part of
it. Why I did it can almost be seen in:

The yellow bunk (and the black one under it) is set under/into one of the
arctic-base grey wall/window segments. Helps get it out of the way some.

I tend to do this with mine, but I think my next one I'm going to try for
even more cramped. I don't know how this will carry off, though. After
having visited USS Clagamore at Patriot's Point, SC, I have a new respect
for particularly the early submariners. That boat is _small_. We 6'3" 290
lb types would not be happy on a boat like that for long; the hatchways
between segments of the ship were only about 3.5' or so tall and narrow
enough I had to turn sideways to get through...

Indeed. And frankly, recently I'd've liked to have seen a good idea for a
"head" so I wouldn't have to design my own... And I couldn't remember the
names of any ships where I'd seen good ones.
