Default I.C. Circuits

Quote:
The I.C. systems of a modern fleet type submarine usually consist of about 24 circuits. With few exceptions, they are supplied with power through the I.C. switchboard located in the control room.
... as I suspected...

Quote:
Collision alarm system (circuit CA)
General alarm system (circuit G)
Diving alarm system (circuit GD)
General announcing system (circuit 1MC)
Submarine control announcing system (circuit 7MC)

8A2. Systems requiring alternating current....
General announcing systems (alarm signals and voice communication)

b. Source of power. The alternating current power supply to this switchboard is obtained from the I.C. motor generators which are comprised of either 250-volt d.c. motors and 120-volt a.c. generators, or 120-volt d.c. motors and 120-volt a.c. generators, depending upon the type of installation.

Looks like I answered my own questions. I guess it's a matter of getting AC power to the circuit board in the control room, then.
