Spanish term or phrase: comando
In the screenplay that takes place in an Argentine submarine i the 70s, I have been traslating "comando", the area of the vessel, as "control room". Here is seems to be a piece of equipment:
CHARACTER A:
¿No viste la cara que puso el capitán cuando vio el “comando” el otro día?
No entendía nada, no sabia ni como prenderlo…

bridge console


Explanation:
Not a room on a ship (a translation agency legal client and hissing London Solicitors/ letrados chistando - 40 years ago: 'it is not called a ship, but a vessel') where bridge as a card game is played. but the bridge from which ops. are controlled.

Example sentence(s):
  • Bridge consoles Whilst maritime technology becomes more complex, the number of skilled staff on board is reducing, making levels of monitoring vital to ensure a safe work environment for crew.
