Eighteen inches of space between your face and the bunk above you. A mattress that lifts up because everything you own is stored underneath it. A curtain as your only privacy for nine months. This is how 300 sailors sleep, eat and survive on a US Navy Arleigh Burke class destroyer, and why the Navy had to change the way its crews sleep after the USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain collisions of 2017.
