Q&A: Could a submarine grow fresh herbs?

An indoor herb garden could fit aboard some submarines, but its actual use is left unconfirmed.

Question

Has anyone tried growing herbs indoors aboard a submarine to provide fresh additions to meals?

Short answer

Some boats would have the space, but no known example is offered and actual use remains uncertain.

Notes

Fresh herbs are suggested as a small improvement to meals several weeks into a submarine patrol. Some boats could have enough space for an indoor herb garden. Whether crews have actually tried it remains uncertain, with no known example offered.
