WHAT DOES GUN ROOM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gunroom

A gunroom is the junior officers' mess on a naval vessel. It was occupied by the officers below the rank of lieutenant. In the wooden sailing ships it was on the lower deck, and was originally the quarters of the gunner, but in its form as a mess, guns were not normally found in it. The senior officers' equivalent is the wardroom. In large ships of war, the gunroom was a compartment originally occupied by the gunner and his mates, but now fitted up for the accommodation of the junior officers; in smaller vessels, that used as a mess-room by the lieutenants. 'The Gunroom', named after this cabin, is also a longstanding online discussion group dedicated to the works of Patrick O'Brian, who wrote the Aubrey–Maturin series of novels about naval vessels and the characters found aboard them. In an English country house, the gun room is a secure walk-in vault in which sporting rifles, shotguns, ammunition and other shooting accessories are kept. They are locked away partly for security, partly as some makes such as Holland and Holland or Purdey are highly valuable.
