Brig = Bridge (The former mining town of Coatbridge, near Airdrie is often referred to as "Coatbrig" by the locals).
That could make for a rather interesting and comedic situation on a Navy ship, as the "bridge" and "brig" are two completely separate places. The former is a place of high importance, but if you end up in the latter, you're in trouble!

Aren't you normally "on" the former, but "in" the latter?
