The commanding officer supervise all the ship's operations while seated in the command chair, located in the center of the room, while having visual access to all major personnel stations and viewscreens, facilitating the decision-making process. The bridge command stations provided seating and information displays for the commanding officer and one or two other officers, typically including the first officer. The command chairs are located in the center of the bridge, to maximize interaction with all key bridge personnel, while permitting an unobstructed view of the main viewscreen.
