Ars Technica's Sean Gallagher has called the Linux-powered bridge a 'floating data center' and likened it to the famous bridge on the Starship Enterprise. There are more than six million lines of code running the Zumwalt's on-board software, and futuristic touchscreens are fitted throughout the bridge. In many ways it's fitting that the first commanding officer will be one Captain James Kirk.
