All great craft in history have needed the ability to see for navigation and the equivalent of "parking" for whatever craft you are talking about. Even submarines, which have no windows, must surface and put people up on the sail (bridge) for maneuvering in and out of port. Apollo 13, in which the movie was very accurate, used visual navigation to make it back to Earth. I would think that, since humans rely on vision for so much, the ability to see out of a craft for navigation, combat, maneuvering, etc., would be absolutely necessary.
