===The Captain's Chair===

It is also surprising to many that the Captains of U.S. Navy ships, unlike Starfleet counterparts, do not have chairs in the direct center of the bridge.  The CO's chair is to the side of the bridge and he actually has three chairs: one inside to observe bridge operations and one on each bridge wing to monitor mooring activates when a ship comes alongside to a pier.  The Captain ''does'' normally have a chair in the center of the Combat Information Center (CIC) which more resembles a Starfleet bridge than the actual ship's bridge would.
