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

Doesn't look all that well thought out. Still though, amazing pics!

Good god!

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