Thanks for posting, very interesting. It's about time they had a ship with her capability. There's been a big gap in the fire support mission since the battleships retired & the navy needs this.

The bridge is on the lower levels; while there is only one set of windows, the interior is actually a unique two-level arrangement. The windows are about 1/3 of the way up the house - look close and you can make out an outside deck where someone can walk around and clean the windows.

In a way it's very cool looking and in a different way weird looking . Where are the windows for the pilot house ? Does any human being steer her or all by computer program ?

Here are mor pics:
