Huh, that's pretty interesting. I wonder if it has any more history.

Description says it is an ESM console. ESM stands for Electronic Support Measures, which usually involves detection of enemy *stuff*, be it vessels, aircraft, missiles, etc.

A frigate is actually considerably smaller than a battleship.

This would go well with the B-52 control keyboards somebody bought here a year or 2 ago.

At this size, the keyboard *becomes* the desk.

Has anybody here ever considered building a keyboard countersunk so that the top plate is just the surface of the desk? I guess the ergonomics might be a bit questionable...

Sounds like a Melvang project and/or badwrench.

That thing is glorious.  Sadly, it's only 38 inches long.  The photo makes it seem like it should be 5 feet long.   It needs to be refinished in battleship gray, upgraded with multiple USB hubs, and outiftted with several batteries of USB rocket launchers.

I have wanted to do this for at least a decade.  Since my desks are all either company property or already-built, I haven't done.  When I do, the trackball will be sunk flush to the desk also.
