EQUIPMENT BAYS

	Behind the aft workstations is a 3.2 meter equipment bay, normally 
sealed to crew personnel. This equipment bay houses three of the seven 
dedicated bridge computer optical subprocessors, and six of the twelve 
shared subprocessors. Also located in this equipment bay are several 
power, environmental, and optical data trunk connects. The remaining 
computer subprocessors are located in smaller equipment bays integral to 
the aft stations, in the side bays port and starboard of the command area, 
and in the deck structure between Conn and Ops and the main viewer.  Æ
