November 7, 20169 yr Author #29 I understand what you are saying. I also did time on Amphibs, USS New Orleans and USS Denver, and they both had Aviator COs. My original statement about COMPHIBRON COs and aviators was wrong. What is unusual is that this guy (USS Lincoln XO) had nuclear training and did not go to a follow-on CVN Skipper tour after his deep draft Skipper tour. Chris

The wheel was probably removed in order to re-install a more traditional looking wheel, and when it was removed, it was probably saved for the departing XO. Here is a picture of a more traditional wheel being used. I do not know what ship this picture was taken on, but it is a funny picture.
