Iirc, the BBC box, with the levers, in the bridge was generally used for tight maneuvering situations in port.

The actual helmsman is in the control room. Of the two fellows seated, he is the one on the right, and yes, they use BIG wheels. Not much hydraulic assist.

Hmmm, did the helmsman control the bow planes as well? That I do not know. I know they were electrically operated, but from which station?
