Did you know that the French word for bridge is the same word for the deck of a ship? I did not know that. Now I do. Interesting.

I also know a lot of other French ship construction terms maintenant...

Not quite - the bridge is not synonymous with the entire deck, including lower decks, the way it is in french.
