The poor slobs can't even sit up, the only excuse for whoever designed them bunk beds is that there wasn't enough space to set them about 4 feet apart vertically.
I read that the French army in the Crimean War had the same problem because the high command dicks had ordered tents that were less than 3 feet high, forcing the men to lay down in them all day.

Outdated, but serviceable U.S. destroyers sit in the Back Bay at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, on Aug. 28, 1940. Plans were well underway to bring these ships up to date and transfer them to Allied countries to aid their defense. These programs would be signed into law as the Lend-Lease program in March of 1941, and would result in billions of dollars worth of war material being shipped overseas.
