SHIP STATIONS
There are seventeen stations plus the Task Bar on each controllable submarine.While the stations
on each controllable sub are different in appearance, their basic functionality is quite similar.This
section describes what happens at each station.When basic functionality is the same, directions
for performing the station’s functions are presented with any slight differences between the subs
noted under each step.A description of the screen parts and button names for each submarine
class follows the list of directions.
When the stations appear or function quite differently, steps for using a station’s functions are
included separately by submarine class.
