Anyone who has ever been on a submarine will have been struck by how cramped the accomodation is.
Pipes and plumbing seem to be everywhere.
The solution is simple - employ Richard Rogers Partnership, architects of the Centre Beaubourg in Paris and the Lloyds Building in the City of London to design
future submarines.

You could build a sub with 2 skins. A thin one on the outside to make it aquadynamic, then all the crap that doesn't mind being exposed to pressure, then a thick inner skin, then the people. |

"Argh captain, this water pipe that for some reason runs through the ship has just broken, we're filling up with water". "Don't panic, there should be a large red valve about a metre from the leak. Just shut it off, it's obviously not important". |

I'd rather be on the Gene Simmons submarine. |
