    Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

    This was posted on another forum I frequent a few weeks back. According to a number of old Navy guys there quoting other sources, it is a reactor control panel (simulator) for a Sturgeon nuclear sub.
