it's used on land or sea...and named after a famous submarine commander; the angle portrayed in the OP is possibly an angle it may be used at.

US submarine commander?

(I was going to suggest a "derrick" since there was a RN sub commander of that name - only derricks were used in the 18th century so wouldn't have been named after him)
