On the subs and tender I served on the enlisted personnel had a berthing compartment that had a number of bunks a little bigger than a single bed each with a locker built as part of the bed pan and there was a curtain. On the tender the berthing compartments was mostly tiers of up 6 bunks, lounge space and a head. The head had four shower stalls, four sinks, for urinals, and four toilets. On the subs berthing was shoe-horned in any space available.  I can’t remember exactly where they were located, but for the most part they where close to the center of the ship. 
 
On the subs most of the bunks where in tiers of two or three where the hull and equipment permitted. On the USS Shark my bunk was in the torpedo known as the berthing compartment known as the hanging gardens. My bunk had part of the hydraulic motor for the forward capstan poking into it. The access aisle was about 2 or 3 feet between the bunks. The CO and XO had separate staterooms that the bunk doubled as seating and shared a head. The other officers shared a stateroom with three bunks.

Yeah. This fits with what I'm now imagining for the Naval and Scout Service ships, particularly the smaller ones, like the Type S. It would really bring home to players that line from the CT ship description for the Type S: "The ship can carry three passengers (up to seven passengers double occupancy) in non-commercial service only."

In other words, "No. You can't vacate a 'stateroom' and rent it out to regular Middle Passenger customers. You *can* rent out one or two of your otherwise-empty crew bunks - for whatever the traffic will bear - so long as you're willing to live cheek-by-jowl with a couple of total strangers - possible hijackers - for a week or so."
