Galaxy class, Chris - that'd be the TNG Enterprise.
You know where the captains ready room is, just off the bridge, right ?

Well, directly across from it, making use of the same available space on the opposite side, is a head, placed there so bridge crew can get their business done while minimizing away time and disruption.

And in the background of one TNG bridge scene, which for the life of me I can't remember, you do see some nameless extra crewmember go in there - I remember cause I laughed and pointed out to Don "so starfleet really does have biological functions after all..." - me not bein much of Trekkie and kinda snarky about the shows flaws and whatnot.

Actually, that's the door to the dedicated turbolift that goes to the Battle Bridge.

The head was in the same alcove as the door to the conference lounge, just on the wall that we didn't see (except in a couple of shots over Worf's shoulder).

While slightly different from the floorplans I have, although that might just be the odd angle from which it's presented - that was kinda what I was tryin to say, the Ready Room is to starboard, and the Head is to port, roughly in the same place.

I wish I could remember the episode though, bleh.

I heard about one young ensign who got his communicator and phaser mixed up and accidentally beemed a charging mugato onto the bridge! True story...

Is the Ready Room the captain's private office. It seems a strange name for it.
