Yep! On the US Fleet Subs the conning tower had everything the Captain needed for the attack. You can see from the photos what is all there.
Attack Scope, Observation Scope, Navigator's Plot table, Helm, Radar, Sonar, TDC, even a small depth gauge, all crammed into that conning tower. And then add about 8 or 9 Crew man of tha fire control party and you have a very busy place! I felt crowded with just two of us up there!
