Submarine Control Room USS Nautilus
The Control Room is located directly below the Attack Center, and contains all the instruments and controls for diving, surfacing and steering the ship.

The Planesmen operated the stern and bow planes to control the ship's angle and depth. The Helmsman controlled the ship's rudder in order to change the ships course.
