I would disagree with that - the problem is that the whole submarine is connected by voice/telephone, and you would be able to get that information and give orders a lot quicker in reality than the time it'd take you to walk to the compass.
I would be absolutely fine with something like that, but if at the same time it was somehow possible to just elicit the information from the crew and issue all the orders you need. Since that's not technologically possible right now, I think an overlay interface like this is a fair enough compromise.
