Christmas tree??

[Rhodes]

Always thought that the "christmas tree" of the u-boat was the box with red lights only next to the ladder to the coning tower;the front of the device is facing the engine telegraphs, and in SH3, the chief engineer.

Jimbuna, when I first saw that pic, also thought that their were celebrating Christmas, but their are in fact celebrating the oak leaves of their commander, but You know that.

I have always thought that it was the compressed-air valves that was called the "christmas tree"!?

I don't know if the u-boatmen used the same terms, but to an American submariner "Christmas tree" was always the 'open/closed' indicator panel, simply because the 'open' lights are red and the 'closed' lights are green.

And obviously Ducimus' links answered the "do u-boats have them" question in the affirmative.
