USNI Photos: Combat Information Center

The “combat information center” or CIC is the heart of every modern navy ship.

It was foreshadowed by early sci-fi novels in the beginning of 20th century, and the earlier variations of what would become the CIC after the Second World War were introduced initially on U.S. aircraft carriers as combat direction centers between 1942 and 1943 and as aircraft direction rooms in the Royal Navy in 1942. Modern CICs function as tactical centers and provide processed information for command and control of the near battlespace or area of operations for all dimensions of the battlefield—air, sea and underwater. Let’s dive into some cinematic shots of the CIC’s evolution from WWII to the modern era!
