My impression was that deck officers were quite happy to live separately, in the midship "white house" as we called it, away from engine room and ratings. They had a mess room, pantry, officers lounge with the piano, open swimming pool and a volleyball court. Nice and quiet life - no noise, no vibration. Separate A/C unit was lot better than ours, in the aft.
"White house" population : Captain, 4 deck officers, 2 radio officers, Chief steward. Almost a full crew of modern day small vessel.
I was inside twice - sign on and sign off. They hardly tolerated visitors, and when going to the pool, we felt like in the neighbor's back yard. For 20 yr old kids it was hard enough to keep quiet in the pool.

why install the catwalk/walkway? From old photos of crew getting swamped by waves while on the catwalk I have always assumed that was the only route. I'll await the definitive answer from someone who served on them.
