Byron, just nitpicking here....

But the word is Conn... not Com. The conn of a ship is associated with the command, control and responsibility. Its not necessarily a physical place, but some ships have locations derived from the term: a submarine's conning tower, for example.

A related term: the deck. One who has the deck has control over the movement of the ship. Most times the concepts of the deck and the conn are joined into one person.

Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I don't have them reversed. Gordy, help me out here.

Nevertheless, its still Conn.
