You'll probably have a different berthing but that is typical of most ships. They put the same rates together or by division/department.

My son said on his ship the nukes were all in the same birthing area close to the reactor department so they were close to their jobs. He was on a carrier..the Nimitz. He also said there was lots of noise from when they launched the jets...

There are two main theories on how berthings are divided.
1) you live with people who have the same job
2) different jobs are spread evenly through the different berthings.

The thought behing 1 is that if you need the engineers for a middle of the night casualty, you only have to wake up one berthing. The idea behind 2 is that if the ship is attacked and a berthing is wiped out, you don't loose all the engineers, or all the combat systems operators at the same time.
