You missed the heads....

Engineering - Life Support, Sensors, Weapons, Propulsion, FTL, Reactor,
Heat Exchange, Computers, ECM/Decoys,

Stores, Armoury, Secure Facility (safe), Brig (for prisoners or rescued
personnel), Gym/Entertainment Centre/Library/Theatre,
Jacuzzi/Spa/Bathroom, Sickbay.

The above based on current submarine practice, mixed in with a bit of
patrol vessel, and a smidgin of long-range aircraft.

On an NAC Battledreadnaught, the cinema might be capable of holding 20
or so people, maybe more. On an ESU corvette, it's a Walkman with one
pair of headphones, usually broken.
