IMO, Suggested colors for indicator lights should actually be reversed.
Ever since Electric Tech and Explosive Tech converged, it has been pretty much a international standard that Green = Safe, Red = Armed/Ready to Fire and Yellow = Active Process or Malfunction. Some times Blue = Active Process.
Active Process = transition from safe to armed/armed to safe or loading.
(I've never been inside a U-Boat and I can not determine actual colors from B/W photo's. Also, unless Torpedo system is active, it is hard to determine color of indicators if lamps are not illuminated.
The sad thing is, growing up there were 2 Type-7 Uboats not 15 miles away from where lived and I was never able to go see them and every time we were driving south on Interstate 5 passing these boats, I remember asking to go see them. Just a stones throw away from Seattle's Space Needle.)

Hey Mate,
i dont mind. Happy to hear from you. Yes a 3 position toggle is a good idea.
I may use the background from Naigths and make it a little bit smaller for the toggles and make them as additional panel wich can slide out.
