Bunk

Bunk refers to a compartment or a bed on a ship, especially in a naval vessel. It is a narrow, flat surface that serves as a sleeping area for crew members. Bunks are usually arranged in tiers, one above the other, and are often located in shared spaces such as cabins or berthing areas. Bunks may be equipped with safety features such as rails or straps to prevent occupants from falling out during rough seas. In addition to sleeping, bunks may also serve as storage spaces for personal belongings or equipment. Bunking arrangements may vary depending on the type of vessel and the rank or position of the crew member.
