You're living in the stone age, Jack. Destroyer COs have been
fighting their ships from CIC since the Seventies. Rarely, if ever,
is anything visual going to happen in modern warfare with the possible
exception of countering small boat attacks. If rudder orders are
necessary, the skipper will call the bridge from CIC.

I've read accounts of destroyer (well whatever the Royal Navy calls
destroyers this week) captains fighting their ships from the exposed
bridge
in Falkland Sound because that's the place where they could see
everything.

As that's the last time anyone fought a major action at sea...
