The thing I couldn't believe was this:

"Bridge design on US naval vessels is largely uncontrolled by the military, with a lack of specific requirements leaving design decisions to shipbuilders."

Everything in the USAF is specified extremely tightly. I would have expected the Navy to have Admiral-level sign-off on the tolerance on threads of the screws that mount dataplates on anything that goes onto a combat ship's bridge!

Surrendering fundamental design decisions to >>civilian shipbuilders<< totally blows my mind!
