:Some time back (and perhaps less than totally observed) the theory was

:(who might well be the Navigator, but not always) having the conn on the
:Bridge. Under the "Old Rules", tradition and good sense dictated that the
:XO not be on the Bridge at all, but be back (or forward in an ESSEX) in
:Seconday Conn, ready to command the ship if necessary. The problem arises

This was sort of a mixed bag in the destroyer Navy of 30 years or so
ago. Old style Captains would be on the bridge and put the XO in CIC.
Younger COs recognized that with modern tools the situational
awareness was better in Combat and would reverse the order, sending
the XO to the bridge to take care of shiphandling and staying in CIC
where they got the whole picture the quickest.
