Yes, as one way to control cameras on top of masts. Replacing periscopes. Not really a comparable to actually steering the boat. Here’s a video from a submarine tour where you can see the Xbox controller in action: https://youtu.be/0StWrXoN8nI?si=Hf5eoGOU-jxDNa2x

Pretty good video if anyone wants to watch it all the way through, otherwise the Xbox controller part starts at 8:38.
