See [1], the section on "The Pilot".

Albacore was very maneuverable, probably more so than any large sub before or since. The term "hydrobatics" was used. Probably too maneuverable for a ship of that size, since it wasn't configured for operation with everybody strapped in.

It looks like steering was controlled by one person. Unfortunately it lacks further detail. I saved the link to read later. Thank you.
