In STVI, we see the first officer of the BoP giving a command to the Navigator to plot a course to intercept the Enterprise. The navigator complies and turns something. You don't actually see it, but looking at the movement of his hands, it seems to be a steering wheel.<p>Unlike the Fed vessels, the navigator/helm is behind the Captain's Chair. Behind and to the right and left of the Captain's chair are two consoles, the one of the left belonging to the First Officer. In the scene where the BoP fires a torpedo, you see the Klingon's RIGHT HAND pressing the fire button. Therefore, it would be reasonable to assume that the console to the right is the Weaps console.<p>As for the First officer's console, perhaps he would be responsible for ship's systems and the such (Data's ops position).<p>Ideas/Comments? And does anyone else have any layouts for other Klingon ships?<P>------------------<BR>I can resist anything.......<br>Except Temptation <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Siegfried</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,3,8,12,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 08, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:58 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I noticed the steering wheel myself in that movie, Tahna Los.
