Terminology question ?

[toppack]

In a Submarine, What exactly is the 'Loft' or 'Loft-floor'?
Is this the Bridge or 'Something Completely Different? :)
Do both British and American Navies use this term?

Never heard it, and I qualified aboard a diesel and an SSBN Submarine.

Thanks, David
I'm thinking it's a British slang term?

I just remembered that horizontal cross sectional lines thru a hull or drawing of a hull are called 'loft lines'. Maybe a 'loft floor' is similar but means a 'reference floor' in the hull, that other things are measured vertically from? I'm just guessing here.
