ILLUMINATION IN THE ATTACK CENTER AND PERISCOPE AREA OF THE SS 563/564

Abstract

This report evaluates the room and instrument illumination required for efficient performance in the Attack Center and Periscope Area of the Class 563/564 submarine. Cognizant Navy personnel were interviewed to determine probable operational procedures in the Attack Center and Periscope Area. The implication of these procedures for illumination was considered. Then, provisional lighting specifications were developed for these areas. In doing so, attention was paid to the current Navy specifications and to the relevant literature.
