bridge

The bridge of a ship is an area or room from which the ship can be commanded. When a ship is underway the bridge is manned by an OOW (Officer of the watch) aided usually by an AB (Able seaman) acting as lookout. During critical manoeuvres the Captain will be on the bridge supported, perhaps, by an OOW as an extra set of hands, an AB on the wheel and sometimes a pilot if required.
