What I now can remember is that they were just white lights.
As I then didn't ask about it I really don't know and I never saw them lit but maybe they could change colors for the various steps.
The panels were quite different.

Remember that in Dry Dock the boat can not carry any Ordinance. Color may vary from Empty Tube campared to Loaded Tube.

Maybe I could get in contact with some older members of the veteran association of the Marine and ask if they know.
Maybe they even have some knowledge about German subs. |

That would be outstanding.

Wish I could. As I said before, I have always wanted to enter a U-boat.
I have been inside many Balao and Gato class submarines. Back in the 60's and early 70's I use to row my rubber raft out and fish for Salamon and Steelhead from them at Bremerton Washington Naval Shipyard. Most of the time I would get chased away but some times I would get a tour.
At one time there was like 20+ WWII Submarines there but they were either used for targets, Crush Depth tests or sold to other countries. A few were sent to Mothball fleet in San Mateo California.
