  If your destroyers cost billions you've already lost the war.

  Seems totally incongruous that this high-tech ship has its monitors sitting, un-tied, to what look like pretty mundane desks, with the PC's sitting, again un-tied, on the deck. Everything on the monitor looks high-tech; everything under the monitor looks like a disaster that's just one big wave away from happening ..

    That's just a mock-up / prototype room that is located at Raytheon in Portsmouth VA. Here is a image of a similar one that is really on a ship: http://www.gdlcs.com/sites/default/files/09-26561-039.jpg http://www.gdlcs.com/sites/default/files/09-26561-039.jpg This article is much better: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/the-navys-newest-warship-is-powered-by-linux/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/the-na... I seriously doubt any modern navy ship would even consider drop ceilings. Money probably isn't an issue for the command center of a new US Navy ship. The mock-up was just to test the computer software and room layout, there's no point in bolting it down if you have the need to move it around to optimize the room.
