You've already asked this question.
Here is the answer again,
The Navy attributes the invention of the periscope (1902) to Simon Lake and the perfection of the periscope to Sir Howard Grubb.
For all its innovations, USS Holland had at least one major flaw; lack of vision when submerged. The submarine had to broach the surface so the crew could look out through windows in the conning tower. Broaching deprived the Holland of one of the submarine’s greatest advantages – stealth. Lack of vision when submerged was eventually corrected when Simon Lake used prisms and lenses to develop the omniscope, forerunner of the periscope. Sir Howard Grubb, designer of astronomical instruments, developed the modern periscope that was first used in Holland-designed British Royal Navy submarines. For more than 50 years, the periscope was the submarine’s only visual aid until underwater television was installed aboard the nuclear powered submarine USS Nautilus.
Sir Howard Grubb
Thomas Grubb (1800-1878) founded a telescope making firm in Dublin. Sir Howard Grubb's father was noted for inventing and constructing machinery for printing. In the early 1830s, he made an observatory for his own use equipped with a 9-inch (23cm) telescope. Thomas Grubb's youngest son Howard (1844-1931) joined the firm in 1865, under his hand the company gained a reputation for the first-class Grubb telescopes. During the First World War, demand was on Grubb's factory to make gunsights and periscopes for the war effort and it was during those years that Grubb perfected the periscope's design.

i'm a Christian (Methodist) and notice no longer something incorrect with Evolution. the only distinction between "Poof! there is!" creation and Evolving "creation" is the time line. those "Days" interior the scriptures have been in basic terms thousands and thousands of years in length. we've evidence that the animals replaced in type. yet would not a lump of clay substitute type because it incredibly is being molded right into a vase? I even have continuously heard, people who think of The scriptures and Evolution are at odds, do no longer know adequate approximately one or the different.
