Not to rain too much on the parade, but the ship's normal complement was
1300 persons. If true to form for a ship of it's era (and still now), a
majority of that was hot bunking in tiers 5 or 6 deep. Unless you built
cabins on the hanger or flight decks (thereby defeating many of the
advantages of an aircraft carrier, and very expensive), there just isn't
enough to "give each person cabin space".
