Yes, that's right - Usually, he sat on a bench just in front of the steering box. SH3 hasn't got that bench - but there is one in SH5 and it's got a helmsman too !!!!

Just to complicate things a bit...there was another steering position in the control tower. This was used during submerged torpedo runs when the captain was using the attack periscope. No good looking for that though, it isn't there either. Perhaps that is a good thing because the attack helmsman would have been knocked over every time the captain turned the periscope - the helmsman's seat was just where the periscope seat is!!
