In addition to not having physical periscopes (it has photonics masts controlled by a joystick instead), the Sonar Room has been moved into Control, with consoles along the port side, opposite the Combat Control consoles on starboard (see lower picture) - so. That means the Control Room is no longer tied to the top of the Operations Compartment, directly under the Sail, and has been moved one level down, where the ship's beam is wider, giving the Control Room more room. The Virginia Control Room is different because the submarine doesn't have hull penetrating periscopes. Inside the Operations Compartment - Control Room (Traditional Type) The Dive supervises the Helm and Outboard, as welll as the Chief of the Watch, who controls the submarine's buoyancy as well as raises the submarine's masts and antennas. The Helm steers the ship (with the rudder) and controls the sail or bow planes (one or the other depending on ship class), and the Outboard controls the angle on the ship with the stern planes. To the far right is the Chief of the Watch, along with what appears to be the Messenger of the Watch. The Helm is on the left and the 'Outboard' watchstander is on the right, and seated between them is the Diving Officer of the Watch, often referred to as the 'Dive'.

In the picture, you're standing at the front of the Control Room next to the Ship Control Panel. The picture in the post (Ohio class) is the traditional type with hull-penetrating periscopes. There are 2 types of Control Rooms - the traditional type and the new type aboard the Virginia class submarine. Types of Submarines - Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN) Note the funky shape of the front of the sail, which is that way for hydrodynamic purposes, reducing drag through the water at high speed. The Seawolf is the bottom left and the Virginia is the bottom right. The Navy moved to bow planes vice sail planes during the construction of the Los Angeles class. Notice the top left submarine has 'Sail Planes' while the top right doesn't. The top two pictures are Los Angeles class submarines.

Enter the Virginia class, with 10 of them in-service as of 2013, leveraging the Seawolf and even more innovative technology. These are very capable submarines but came with a corresponding price tag, and with the end of the Cold War, the Navy needed a more affordable submarine. We have 3 Seawolfs, huge Cold War submarines with 8 torpedo tubes, capable of carrying 50 torpedoes each. The oldest and most familiar, made famous by Tom Clancy in The Hunt for Red October, is the Los Angeles (688) class, which still makes up the bulk of our fast attack fleet.
