I heard on the military channel that newer subs run red in the control room at night to help the men keep adjusted to day/night cycles as they are under water for weeks on end. In WWII I believe it was only used to adjust your eyes to the dark so you could pop out on the bridge and see right away.

*Educated guess, not necessarily accurate*
