Wardroom

Wardroom of the Royal Navy submarine depot ship HMS Forth (A187), from a series titled 'The Royal Navy during the Second World War'.

The wardroom is the mess cabin or compartment on a warship or other military ship for commissioned naval officers above the rank of midshipman.[1][2] Although the term typically applies to officers in a navy, it is also applicable to marine officers and coast guard officers in those nations that have such service branches. On larger vessels, such as aircraft carriers of the United States Navy, there may be more than one wardroom. It may also be used on stone frigates to refer to similar officer mess facilities at naval, marine, and coast guard installations ashore.
