General Description:
The HYRIU Class Cruiser is longer than the familiar GALAXY Class, but has a lower profile and, consequently, fewer decks. This document provides a fairly detailed layout of the bridge of the USS YAMATO, and an outline of the equipment and facilities found on each deck of the ship.

Bridge Layout:
The bridge of the YAMATO is based on the bridge layout used successfully in a number of ships of the GALAXY Class. The forward bulkhead of the bridge is dominated by a large main view screen. The CON and OPS stations are located about 2 meters aft of the view screen. Each station consists of a single panel that wraps slightly around a forward facing operator. A wrap around panel design was chosen to provide the operator with additional panel space to lay out controls when compared to a straight panel.

There are four stations located about 3 meters behind the CON and OPS stations for the CO, XO, and two other members of the crew. Each station is equipped with a small panel that folds away when not in use. The panel may be used to access the main computer or any station on the bridge.

The Captain's Ready Room is accessed through a door on the port side of the bridge at the same elevation as the CO's station. A door symmetrically located on the starboard side of the bridge provides access to the ODN and EPS conduits tying the bridge to the rest of the ship. This compartment also provides access to the upper sensor array equipment on Deck 2 and the Jefferies tube network that runs throughout the ship.

Port and Starboard ramps lead up and aft to the mezzanine level of the bridge. The central portion of this level is dominated by the TAC station. This station consists of a two sided panel with a long forward section and a shorter section on the starboard side. A holo-emitter is set up to provide a three dimensional projection of the battle-space around the ship on the port side of the TAC panel. The TAC officer sits in a chair that swivels in order to provide him access to the forward and starboard sections of his panel, as well as the holographic projection area. He normally sits facing forward and is at an elevation sufficient to look over the heads of those on the lower level of the bridge at the view screen.

The SCI station is located on the port side of the TAC station and consists of a single panel. The operator normally sits facing forward and has an unobstructed view of the main view screen. The science station also has access to the holo-emitter and can use that capability to aid in scientific research.

The ENG station is located on the starboard side of the TAC station and consists of a single panel. In generall this station is only used to monitor engineering functions and may not be manned. The operator sits facing forward.

There is an aisle running port/starboard aft of the TAC, SCI and ENG stations. Several auxiliary stations are provided along the aft bulkhead of the bridge that provide access to the main computer and infrequently accessed systems.

Turbolifts are located at the aft end of the bridge on the port and starboard sides.
