Romulan Bird Of Prey Bridge 7.27.66 - a photo on Flickriver

A clapper from the TOS episode Balance of Terror showing the bridge of the Bird of Prey Romulan Ship. Nice detail of the helmets and the colors can be seen here. This episode has often been called a retelling of a classic submarine warfare story, citing Run Silent, Run Deep as well as The Enemy Below as sources. The title likely has a different meaning, relfecting the delicate balance between super powers that existed between the United States and the Soviet Union during the cold war. In a 1961 speech by John Kennedy, he stated both countries were "racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war" with regards to widespread use of nuclear weapons.

There are many other shots from this episode in my photostream, but a nice exterior view of the ship model in space is here:
