That steam wheel is the for the throttle for the propulsion. The three panels are from left: The throttleman, the reactor controls and the panel on the right is the electric panel.

This was in maneuvering in nuclear submarines.

There were 4 people on watch, three total for the three panels and one watch officer who sat behind the Electric Panel Operator.
