Engineering:Sternwalk
From HandWiki
A sternwalk (also stylised as stern walk[1] and stern-walk[2][3]) is a balcony on the outside of the hull on the stern of a ship, usually reserved for the highest-ranking officer on board. They became less common on warships in the twentieth century.[4]
The Japanese battleship Ise is thought[by whom?] to be the last ship with a sternwalk as part of its design. It was launched in November 1916.[citation needed]
