[Milsurplus] USN civilian rec's for aircraft watch

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I'm pretty sure it means the conning station on the Bridge - in the 
vicinity of the wheel.  I don't know about the CVE's but the Essex Class carriers 
had a Secondary Conn located in the after end of the island structure.  If 
the article had meant Secondary Conn, it would probably have said so.  
Secondary Conn must have fallen into disfavor or something.  In 1967/68, Valley 
Forge still had a VD repeater installed in Secondary Conn.  I think I recall 
that there was also an Emergency Conn located in After Steering.
