Space ships

I presume this is what Captain Picard (Star Trek: Next Generation)is referring to when he tells Date/Riker "You have the con". Do real space vessels have a conning tower? 86.144.25.248 (talk) 17:57, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

South Dakota at Guadalcanal

Regarding the statement that Captain Gatch fought the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal from the bridge of South Dakota, rather than the conning tower--I can find no reference to this effect in Musicant, either on page 118 or elsewhere. South Dakota's action report implies, although it does not clearly state, that the CO was in the conning tower. He praises the protection afforded by the conning tower but states that "Poor visibility made station keeping the most pressing and engrossing concern of the commanding officer at conn.” It is hard to envisage him making such a statement if he had been on the open bridge.
