This link contains still valid download links to all the template files of the US Is-was Attack Course Finder on the hnsa.org site. Somewhere in there is also a photo of the original device. (only black on white, seems perfect in low-light conditions, considering) The first link in the first message of this thread is dead, and should have pointed to this. But somehow ended up linking to some Google Group and died in the process.
I also uploaded them in different packages (untouched, probably downloaded them back then from the now dead links) to my website:
Range/Speed/Sine/Time sliderule disk (rear side):

Course/Bearing solver (front side)

As an added bonus I still have a Shockwave file somebody made (don't know who, probably mentioned in this thread somewhere), with which you can play around with the Course/Bearing solver in your browser:

It can be used with ANY game that is based on the proper mathematical rules and nautical concepts and units. It's only specific for SH4 in the sense that it (initially) focused on the US submarines. But could technically also be used in SH3 or SH2 (atleast the angle solver) and certainly SH1. I think Destroyer Command too worked with yards. It's just a replica of a mathematical device used in the real world back in those days. You just have to consider that the range scale is in yards. Speed in knots is standard among most games.
