    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    Great pic! So why is there a GIANT clock face on the conning tower?

    And I never realized just how BIG and TOP HEAVY all the conning towers were for capital ships pre-WW2.

    Its a concentration dial. So other ships know the range of the target that the firing ship is shooting at. So they can join in.

    No enemy of America would have ever been killed if they didn't show up to be killed. HDR

    Submarines have conning towers. Ships have superstructures/mast when referring to the portion above the main deck. No idea on the "clock face"? Whoops, missed rci's responce about the clock.
