Kurt replied to me:
I think that really can only be answered by a couple more questions.
1. How much space and privacy does the culture view as necessary
overall?
2. Upon entering the military (or a para-military service), how much
is this requirement allowed to change?
3. What is the mission duration? Short one to four day missions vs.
multi-week patrols?
Compare a WW2 submarine (Gato or Balao class) to a modern Los Angeles
or Virginia class SSN and how much more living space and privacy the
new boats have compared to the old.
4. Is there a (cold) war going on or is the space force just an
insurance policy against unlikely aliens, i.e. is there a shared sense
of urgency about the space force?
5. What is the tradeoff between fewer, better rested and more efficient
crew and more, less efficient crew?
But do you know if the US PT boats ever encountered conditions where the
crew had to live below decks?

Onno
