That’s a picture of a session in a Navy damage control trainer. If they’re lucky, that wasn’t the submarine DC trainer in New London during the winter. So not fun.
What’s behind them looks like a motor controller, probably for the pumps in the trainer.

the greatest (and only) “gift” of the age-of-trump is that suddenly people are starting to realize

hint: when there is no penalty for lying, people lie, all the time, about everything

“We take your privacy and security. Seriously.”
