Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Military | | Italian term or phrase: mensa | Ok, before everyone rushes in with the translation *mess*, my problem is this:
I need to differentiate between *quadrato ufficiali*, which I have on good authority can be translated as officers' mess and mensa, which I think is also translated as mess.
DIMENSIONI LOCALI QUADRATI E MENSE
This is from a detailed description of all the areas on board a Naval unit.
Help?

| | English translation:crew mess/crew mess hall | Explanation:
I would suggest to contrast the officers' mess with crew mess or crew mess hall. For the most part I have found the crew mess without the genitive although officers' is always with the appostrophe. |
