Maybe this got lost in the shuffle, but in my 1st reply I said this was already possible.
1. Select the ship whose bridge you want to stand on. Really needs to be a CL or larger because the camera doesn't go low enough for most DD bridges.
2. Put the camera in Follow mode for the selected ship. You can now deselect the ship if desired.
3. Move the camera to the bridge of your ship, or a searchlight platform, or whatever. It will now stay there due to being in follow mode. It also helps to disable ship-bobbing in the misc. display option because the camera doesn't roll with the ship.
4. Hold down F5 to bring up the binocular view. You have to be aimed at least slightly above the horizon or the binos don't come up for some reason.
5. While holding F5, use the numpad to rotate your view around as desired. As soon as you release F5, the binos go away.
