Hmm. Interesting. On the ship I was on, the wardroom and officers'
quarters
were forward. The goat locker and crew's quarters were amid ship. Ship
must
have been designed by a CPO.

G If you're talking Navy (Destroyer or cruiser) I wouldn't call those
accoms fwd. Fwd of midships, but not fwd.
No, I'm talking about accoms that leave just enough room for the anchor
windlass, fwd of them..... damned uncomfortable.

While on the NOAA ship McArthur I berthed in the forward crew's quarters,
which was just aft of the Bos'n's and chain lockers and while in the Navy
and aboard USS Morton (a Forest Sherman class destroyer), I berthed in
forward officer's country, which was just forward of the Wardroom and aft of
the forward gun mount (or just forward of the CG). I can vouch that there
was a -huge- difference between the two "forward" berthing areas.
