Conning tower windows ?

Thanks for all the replies. While I neglected to mention in the first post, it did always seem strange to me that submarines could have windowed areas and still operate at great depths, it never occured to me that they could simple flood the bridge when diving. I suppose the Barents Sea is a hellish place for sub crews to operate in, so any shelter must be apreciated when on the surface.
