In 2004, the United States Navy began fitting photonics masts to Virginia class submarines[1]
According to the US Navy: U.S. Navy Fact Sheet: Attack Submarines - SSN (in English). The US Navy (2007-11-13). Retrieved on 2008-05-15. "In Virginia class boats, traditional periscopes have been supplanted by two Photonics Masts that house color, high-resolution black and white, and infrared digital cameras atop telescoping arms. With the removal of the barrel periscopes, the ships’ control room has been moved down one deck and away from the hull’s curvature, affording it more room and an improved layout that provides the commanding officer with enhanced situational awareness."
