Mogami and FDI displays bring outside views into the CIC

A wraparound display can give people in a combat information centre a shared view of what surrounds the ship. The Japanese example is described as a circular LED wall with a 360-degree view and the ability to enlarge details. Mogami and the French FDI are named as designs associated with this approach. Its proposed value is greatest in close encounters where operators need to watch nearby activity while working at their own stations. A failed display inside the hull returns the CIC to its previous lack of direct outside vision. On the bridge, retaining windows matters because navigation should not depend entirely on a display and its connections.
