MUNDANE MYSTERIES: The U.S. Navy uses WHAT to navigate their periscopes?!
If you’ve ever heard the rumor that the U.S. Navy uses video game controllers in their submarines, it turns out it’s true!
Back in 2018 the US Navy equipped all their submarines with Xbox360 controllers. The real control sticks for the periscopes are VERY expensive and really difficult to learn how to use. So instead they decided to install the Xbox controllers since they were much cheaper. But also, the periscope operators are very familair with playing Xbox so they can easily transfer those skills to operating the periscope.
See! Don’t let anyone tell you video games are a waste of time. It could pay off one day.
