The crew's mess has four tables for eating, working and relaxing. It also has the magazine (storage for shells, small arms, etc.) and the reefer (refrigerated spaces) below deck. An ammunition scuttle is in the overhead to more quickly and safely move shells up to deck.
The hatch to deck in this compartment was the normal access to the submarine when in port, or at sea when quick access to the aft deck was needed.
