These four-compartment berthing quarters give a glimpse into the living environment afforded to the officers’ rank. Officers were bunked one or two to a room, with accommodations that included wardrobes, sink, desk, and more comfortable beds than the standard enlisted bunks. Like college dormitories, officers would personalize their bunks with pictures from home, memorabilia from their journey, and artwork. Lt. Stephen Fitch drew pictures of his time on the Yorktown and coined his berthing compartment as “The 226 Club”. Officers would often pile into compartments for late-night clandestine parties.
