Wow. Managing all of those valves in the dark must have been a blast.

I'm surprised there were not different wheel textures or spoke styles for tactile recognition.

Thanks for sharing, cool pics.

Takes a certain kind of crazy to be a submariner.....

I get antsy in an elevator if taking forever... I couldn't imagine volunteering to stay in one of those things..
Yes I am quite a wimp when it comes to that, I am sure eventually I would be in the corner drooling with a straight jacket on.....
I have always been in awe of anyone who can do that kind of service

:airplane: Who could design such a display of the "brains" of a sub, wonder how he would "fare" designing a nuke sub?
I wonder what the open hatch is for? surely they didn't expect a human to get through that thing! LOL

Good god!

That sub probably carries tens of tons in valve wheels alone!
