The term was originally used with respect to ships in the British Royal Navy, which had a small room adjacent to the bridge. The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom is the oldest of the British armed services (and is therefore known as the Senior Service) The bridge of a Ship is an area or room from which the ship can be commanded
It served as a rest and sleeping facility for the Captain, separate from his regular private quarters. Occupation of the ready room was required by regulation when the ship was underway in times of war, when the Captain must be immediately available to the bridge at any hour in case of emergency.
