The missile frigate in Honor and Death places its bridge deep inside the hull. This earns approval because a warship should protect the people directing its fight. A modern escort's combat information centre provides the comparison. A spacecraft's command position would benefit from the same protection instead of occupying an exposed position on top of the ship.
