Thank you for the info.  As I never served, I was unaware.

Isn't that confidential info?

   I probably should have given a little more of an explanation. Much of a submarine is not classified. We had frequent visitors and even did "Tiger Cruises" where we took family out for a day to experience diving and "angles and dangles". We rigged the boat for visitors covering some gages and panels with snap on covers. I imagine that they do it now just by turning off monitors. There was little or no electronics on board and none in the engineering spaces as Rickover did not think it had enough run time to prove reliability (70s). Reporters and other uncleared guests also had access to most of the boat excluding the engineering spaces.

It is something that is done with uncleared visitors on board so I would think not.
