When that table was made Koa was not nearly as expensive as today. When I was
in High School we used lots of Koa in woodshop. It was 1/3 the price of
walnut .

Woah...  There's a good use of taxpayer money :)

Koa Wood
A native tree of Hawaii, Koa (Acacia Koa) has long since been sought after
for its historic and cultural significance. It was once used for just about
all building and manufacturing applications but, because it is not an easy
wood to work with, it was replaced as other easier to work with woods became
available. It is considered by many woodworkers and furniture makers to be
one of the most beautiful, precious and rare tropical hardwoods. Now it is
primarily used for making furniture, musical instruments, veneers and
heirloom pieces. A small, newly made, Koa jewelry box can cost upwards of
$500. A small dining set in excess of $6,000.

Yes sir, I'm in that site's crewmember list. I was an ELT - Engineering
Laboratory Technician - we made sure the reactor and steam plant chemistry
was what it was supposed to be and that radiation and contamination levels
were known and safe.

One thing (among many) that made the Kam (as we called her) special was a
Koa wood table in the wardroom. I just looked up Koa on the web to make sure
I had the spelling right and found an informative site:

Don't draw the wrong conclusion, Inge. US Navy nuclear ships have an
excellent safety record, in part because tried and tested technology was
used. Also, the boat I was on was built in the early sixties, so it's
natural that it had technology from the fifties/sixties in it. It lasted
almost forty years, with some maintenance and updates of course, which again
shows it was well-designed and made. I'm sure the newer boats have more
modern equipment in them, I'm just not familiar with them.

I went to the Snopes website and saw the picture...I didn't have to read a
thing to know what it was. Looks just like the maneuvering room control
panels on the boat I was on. (SSBN642).
Steam plant control panel (throttles, etc.) on the left, Reactor plant
control panel (control rod shim switch, power indicators, etc.) in the
center, and Electric Plant control panel on the right. The throttles don't
look like something you'd imagine a computer having. The larger wheel is the
forward throttle, and the smaller the back (reverse) throttle. It's 50s
technology, but it was in use 'til the 90s.

Ingemar,

You also find the computer here, stating the picture isn't true.
