I think so too. I can see a split between technical operation and planning and decision  -command area- but the difference would not be necessarily by those terms.

On the F122 frigates in the German Navy the difference was that in the CIC you had all the operator stations to actually operate the sensors and effectors of the ship while the operations room was much smaller and basically had only a table for charts. The purpose of the CIC was to fight the external battle in a tactical situation, while the operations room was used to plan what you wanted to do in the next 24h to 48h and to follow the bigger operational picture.

"It really ties the CIC together, man."

No, it is to give more waterline length to get more speed without the expense of a longer hull.

Thanks!

I don't know.   This looks awfully like a CIC to me, even though the RCN calls it an Operations Room.
