Crap… this pic’s a hoax. Apparently it’s actually from a real submarine’s control room. See the comments here for links to proof and such — radio.weblogs.com…

The color picture above was taken in 2000 at the Smithsonian Institution exhibit "Fast Attacks and Boomers: Submarines in the Cold War" and depicts: A full-scale display of a typical nuclear-powered submarine's maneuvering room in which the ship's engineers control the power plant and electrical and steam systems.
