This graphic is most interesting in that, the large panel in the
background is the control panel assembly for a US nuclear submarine
circa 1970. Get rid of the so called computer, the monitor, and of
course, the man, and that's what would be left.
The panel is really 3 panels put together. The left third is the SPCP
(Steam Plant Control Panel) and controls the steam plant and the
throttles. The center panel is the RPCP (Reactor Plant Control Panel)
and controls the reactor control rods and the reactor plant valves. The
right third is the EPCP (Electric Plant Control Panel) and controls the
ship's electrical plant amd the speeds and load of the turbine
generators, motor generators and all remotely operated circuit breakers.
Very interesting that it makes no mention of this background item,
which was likely classified information at that time.
