AFAIK, in real WW2 US submarines they rigged for red, and not for blue. Sources are several, and all point in the same direction (At least in fleet boats, not in the S-Boats) in the books I have readed: O'Kane, Calvert, etc. The red light was even responsable for one boat running aground: In the early stages of the war, where that rigging for red was new (As proven by the fact that older S-class boats rigged for blue) one navigator plotted the course under red light (Anything written/painted in red becomes invisible under red light) thus missing that there was a red mark in the map indicating coral reefs  . The boat went aground! |
Yep the same was resposible for the flooding of a magazine on the Wahoo. Couldn't see the red indicator.
