All US Navy ships have two captain’s chairs on the bridge; one on the port side and one to starboard. During the sea trials in April 1991 for DDG 51, there was a very special captain’s chair for the ship’s namesake, Admiral Arleigh Burke. It was borrowed from a WWII museum ship, which was one of the ships he had commanded during the war. Once the sea trials were over, the chair was returned and replaced by a modern, standard issue captain’s chair.
