Also* like old early WW1 subs that have Captain Nemo esq fish fin lines, especially around the rudders, and* these* Threshers* too* still have a natural aquadynamic look as if applied by an artist, not just a cigar with a hat
Eerily similar to what I remember on the Nebraska. Except our stations were in a different order than in the pic. And our door out would have been to the Sup’s left as we sat on the port side & faced outboard. Which made for some interesting times on the surface with a moderate sea state as you rolled towards & away from the screen 🤢
Not sure, but I will say the Thresher/Permit class was at the very end of its service life by 1995. Gato was one of the last ones, decommissioned in 1996. So the stuff in this pic was probably very much not US Navy state of the art at the time.
I can hear this picture.
SONAR room go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr (in 400hz).
Only difference I see to 688 is 3 stacks instead of 4, maybe Q5-C instead of D.
We had Q-5B on the 711 when I was in. I saw Q-5C when I was working in the 21B64 lab at IBM Manassas. It looked like a big improvement.
I can smell this picture.
Wow looks familiar to the 681Batboat.
"That man is playing Galaga"
I understood that reference!
Looks like the Navy has come a long way since the BQS-13 with A2D2!
Legacy ass consoles 😂
Somebody will say the same one day, about Q-10.
I love old cassette futurism submarines

Edit*
I could feel those pros swiping under my fingers. Those dimus displays are bringing back memories of oods asking what that dimus trace is.
con, sonar… the DIMUS trace at 180 relative is own ship.
Designate dimus at 180 as henway, assigning tracker alpha, sierra 19.
Nice! I was on Plunger 83-86, started as a sonar striker until I saw the light and went QM.

Ohh my god, all the hours I spent in front of those stacks!
Wow...the "waterfall" on a CRT👍
I was on 666, looks the same!
My second boat. That was about a year after I left.
I tried to restore it. Might not be as bright but it looks a bit more pretty.https://imgur.com/a/MVnI0Qw
Looks better in every way in the OP
😖
🤷♂️
Shit, that is seriously causing in flashbacks with lighting.
Beautiful waterfalls.
Is that a waterfall trace at lower right?
Sierra-6 designated biologics
Was this photo allowed to be taken back in the day?

Except it looks pretty much like the BQQ-5 system I trained on in the late-80's.
We could take photos of the PBB displays but not the others.
Where's the printer?
Wait those are not ‘the cups’ on the stack.
I bet this is a '37
Picture is the Gato,but the year is 1990,that's me as sonar supervisor wearing the hat, we are on the surface
