There is no height limit on subs, and as for the psych eval, there really isn't one as far as I know for subs other than the normal ones you take when you get to NNPTC (which is really just a questionnaire, some evaluation!)

Part of it is to take care of the sub stuff (anyone going to a sub for sure goes to special physicals). They are also making sure that you are ready to go out to the fleet as a nuke and there's no problems in your history that make you liable to get sick on watch and muck up the reactor plant (thats what we generally call BAD).

Special physicals are no big deal really, just a little more poking and prodding, as usual. I know that all nukes, people going to subs (for sure), Air Traffic Controllers, SWCC, SEAL, EOD, and AIRR all have to get special physicals.
