A space warship combines a large vessel's combat power with movement in every direction. Surface operations encourage a different spatial habit from the up-and-down movement familiar to submariners and aviators. Submarine crews also have experience living and working for months inside an enclosed vessel. Those combined demands make them the preferred starting point proposed here for crewing the first space warships.
