What type of lights do submarines use?

Submarines only use very few lights: 1. Bow and Stern (rudder) lights - the Bow light is contained withing the jackstaff, and is only used in port while moored or anchored. The Rudder light is used while underway surfaced, along with the Port/Starboard lights.l 2. Port and Starboard Navigation lights - like all vessels, submarines use Port (Red) and Starboard (Green) navigation lights, which are located on the submarine's sail/fairwater. 3. Yellow Flashing Light - Submarines traveling on the surface at night use a raised mast with a flashing yellow beacon. The beacon, along with the other navigation lights, tell other ships that the vessel is a submarine, and which direction it's headed. 4. Security lights - Mounted on the sail in port, they are used as safety/security lights while moored or anchored.

How rudder drop is measured?

Rudder drop is typically measured by the amount of deflection or displacement of the rudder from its neutral position. This is usually expressed in degrees of rotation or in millimeters of movement. Measurement can be done manually by visual inspection or may be gathered using sensors or instruments connected to the rudder mechanism.
