We’ve all seen the movies — Run Silent, Run Deep; Das Boot; U-571, and others — in which the submarine captain orders “up periscope,” a big tube rises, the captain quickly unfolds a pair of handles, swivels his hat backwards, and looks through eyepieces while rotating the tube around 360 degrees to see what’s on the surface.
