A '''gunroom''' is the [[junior officer]]s' [[mess]] on a naval vessel. It was occupied by the officers below the rank of [[lieutenant]], but who are not [[warrant officer]]s of the class of the [[boatswain]], gunner or carpenter. 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. |

A gunroom is the junior officers' mess on a naval vessel. It was occupied by the officers below the rank of lieutenant, but who are not warrant officers of the class of the boatswain, gunner or carpenter. 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.
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.[1]
'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.
The senior officers' equivalent is the wardroom.
