Are modern warship bridges protected by blast-resistant glass, or are officer casualties expected?
Short answerThey use strong glazing and supplementary shielding, while combat bridge manning is kept to the necessary watchkeeping team.
NotesModern bridge windows use very strong glass, often with additional shielding that can be brought down. Combat also reduces the number of people exposed on the bridge. The remaining personnel are principally the watchkeeping and steering crew needed there.
