WHAT DOES WARDROOM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

wardroom

Wardroom

The wardroom is the mess-cabin of naval commissioned officers above the rank of midshipman. The term the wardroom is also used to refer to those individuals with the right to occupy that wardroom, meaning "the officers of the wardroom". It provides a place of recreation as well as being a dining room. Usually, a galley or scullery adjoins the wardroom. Service is provided by stewards. There is usually a bar, where drinks can be purchased. Ships can be either "wet" or "dry": the former allowing the consumption of alcohol at sea, while the latter only allows alcohol when alongside at port, if at all. Wardrooms have rules governing etiquette. Traditionally considered taboo are three topics: politics, religion, and sex. On large ships in peacetime, talking about professional business is frowned upon. It is also considered inappropriate to perform work or to meet with subordinates in a wardroom. The ship's executive officer is usually the mess president. The commanding officer is normally not a member of the wardroom, but is normally invited to join the members for special occasions.
