Only the Captain and Fleet Admiral would warrant having a private room, all other officers would share their quarters.

"The living quarters on carriers are pretty cramped. Only the Captain of the ship and the Carrier Battle Group Commander (an Admiral) would have private quarters, and even these are small (about 30 by 30 feet, and it doubles as their office). Only these two senior officers would have private latrines (bathrooms).

Mid-Level officers (O-4 through O-6), and senior petty officers (E-7 through E-9) are normally berthed two per room, with one lower and one upper rack (bunk beds). The room would have two small storage lockers (for personal effects), and a desk. Junior officers and petty officers would normally be berthed 4 per room (with two bunk beds). The room would also have four small storage lockers. No desk.

Junior enlisted (E-4 and below) are berthed in compartments with several racks (50 or so per compartment). "Rooms" on a Naval ship are referred to as "compartments." Each rack has a small, built-in storage compartment for personal items)."
