Other question, don't know if is real. In Torpedo Run, when they rise the attack periscope, the skipper was on his knees almost every time, in other scenes they put the periscope all the way up. So, american subs had 2 positions for the attack scope or a free height control like SH3 (or like u-boats or other subs, correct if wrong).

At least for part of the war the attack scope had variable height control as shown in SH3. Perhaps all of it, not sure. Beach speaks of "the pickle" as the switch used by the periscope assistant (usually a quartermaster) to adjust the scope height as ordered by the Approach Officer.
