<P> The bridge of a ship is the room or platform from which the ship can be commanded . When a ship is underway the bridge is manned by an OOW ( officer of the watch ) aided usually by an AB ( able seaman ) acting as lookout . During critical maneuvers the captain will be on the bridge supported , perhaps , by an OOW as an extra set of hands , an AB on the wheel and sometimes a pilot if required . </P>
