I wonder how USN bunking arrangements compare to those of the early 20th century. At the end of WWI the USN spent quite a bit of time working with the RN, both during and just after the war. The RN was quite impressed with many features of the USN's ships, such as the size of the crew messes and the fittings (collapsible so the mess could be used for many purposes, and of high quality). However, they were quite unimpressed with the USN's sleeping arrangements for their crews, which the RN felt were quite inadequate - so the RN's sailors got better sleep, but worse facilities in other ways.

I wonder if the USN ever successfully addressed this, if they ever considered it a problem.
