If it is based on the current RN arrangement and standards, you are probably looking at 9 person cabins as the largest quarter, with 4 person cabins for PO/CPO/ extra JO and 2 person cabins for COXN/CERA and officers generally and four single cabins for CO/XO/CBTO and LOGO. There may be some "austere" quarters for short term embark like Enhanced Boarding Parties, etc.

CERA you're ageing yourself shipmate

Those haven't been a thing in over a decade.

Whatever you call them these days. I am pretty sure that the engineers onboard don't magically do everything they have to do by committee decisions without being under a single Non Commissioned member's heading the department.

And, yes, I have been out for more than a decade, more than a couple of decades, actually, if I don't count my time on the supplementary reserve list.

So that means in another decade they'll bring that position back in the name of "Transformation!"

I contend that there are a finite number of ideas that are recycled every 30 years (the lifecycle of corporate lifers).
At least that is what I tell the youngsters!

CBTO you're ageing yourself shipmate

CERA is now CEng and CBTO is OpsO.

You are quite right.

It was Ops O when I joined in the mid-seventies. It became Cbt O in the late eighties, allegedly in preparation for the increased knowledge required by the CPF's soon to come.

Since I was referring to the RN's accommodation set up but using Canadian terminology, perhaps I should have used Principal Warfare Officer instead.

BTW, you know that in the RN, the CEng is what we called the MSE O.

And its going to change all over again when Aegis shows up.
