Saw this in the goofs:

When the XO is talking with the Chief about 'breaking the code', the unit the Chief is sitting in front of is a computer terminal, an early version of automated communications equipment, clearly noticeable by the red teletype tape above the monitor- it's an Baudot 8-level tape, not used for communications traffic (which used Baudot 5-level) for torn tape relay. The location is in a communications space, as evidenced by a fragment of a safe's red 'OPEN' label and, in the background, power panels trimmed in red paint (indicating power sources for equipment used in cryptographic operations).
