as a fellow cigar smoker I would say that as long as you stay on the smaller size like a traveling humidor(one that holds about 12 or so) would be the best bet. As pointed out space is at a issue.
A idea would be to get him a gift certificate from the local cigar store or from an on-line store and let him pick the one that he thinks would fit best. My family does this alot, it allows you to find the exact one that you like best.

A compartment on a Navy ship can be any size from a closet size to a large engineering space. If you mean a berthing "rack", it is about 6 1/2 ft long and 4 ft wide. The storage under the mattress is only about 6 inches deep. Space is at a premium in those. You might have another small stand-up locker for hanging up dress uniforms, but it's smaller than most school lockers. I would suggest a small travel one that holds 6-12 at the most.

All electrical units have to be checked and approved by the ship itself to be used. Personally, I would probably not allow this product on board.
I was stationed on the USS Saratoga and Enterprise aircraft carriers as an Administrative Officer. The working space or compartments varied but in the Admin area it was approximately 15 feet square on the Saratoga and maybe 18 feet square on the Enterprise.
I have actually been on board the attack submarine Flying Fish in Norfolk, Virginia and the same Administrative space was just big enough for a man to squeeze in, very small.
Enlisted sleeping space on board carriers is described as a "coffin" and you have just enough room to roll over. These are stacked three high in a room, in most cases, with 120 + sailors. Officer quarters are better with actual bunks two high with two to four officers in a single space.

Depends on the ship, his rank, and what the ship is used for. If he is a simple sailor get a small one honey. If he has more than about a 3 foot square for his personal items I would be surprised.

If your husband is in a rack, he's enlisted, and he has very little personal space, no matter which vessel he's on. Find the absolutely smallest you can get. Of course, he may also have locker space in his area of responsibility, wherever his station is, in which case, a slightly larger box may not be such a problem.
Good luck, and from a Veteran, my thanks to you, and your husband for your service and sacrifices for our country.

Just over 6 feet by 30 inches, but will he be allowed to smoke in his rack?

Not a good idea. The humidity on those boats is carefully controlled to limit corrosion. It's not likely he'd be allowed to use it.
