Modern warships are not just weapons, they are miniature societies with all the amenities, including cuisine.
The USS Gerald R. Ford is like a floating city in the middle of the ocean, where even the kitchen must be strategic.
It is impressive that an aircraft carrier can operate a kitchen with the capacity of a 5-star hotel!
Food not only helps soldiers fill their stomachs, but also maintains their spirits during long missions.
Inside the cold steel of the warship are warm kitchens, which create soft power for the navy.
17,398 meals/day is a number that shows the terrible level of logistics work in the army.
Navy chefs not only know how to cook, but also have to follow strict safety rules like soldiers.
A piece of bread on the USS Gerald R. Ford can be a source of encouragement during long hours of combat duty.
I've always been curious about what the US Navy eats every day, and this video gave me the answer in detail.
On board, food is not just for survival, it is the only joy in a strict schedule of discipline.
Aircraft carrier sailors must be proud because every meal is carefully prepared, not makeshift.
Thinking about synchronizing thousands of meals on time, with enough nutrition, without missing anyone is already overwhelming.
The Navy is not only strong in weapons but also possesses superior logistics, especially in the culinary field.
When the ship leaves port, the kitchen officially enters a 24/7 non-stop campaign.
I wonder how they can store and preserve fresh food for thousands of people for weeks.
An aircraft carrier cannot operate effectively if the soldiers are hungry, logistics is the foundational strength.
Food on board must be designed to be eaten quickly, easy to digest, and not cause drowsiness during the shift.
The diet of naval soldiers must be carefully calculated to maintain the best endurance and physical strength.
The aircraft carrier has both a toaster and an industrial coffee machine, just like a mobile food court.
Not just canned fish and dried food as we think, the soldiers eat quite a rich and complete diet.
On long voyages, a delicious meal can ease the soldiers' homesickness and loneliness.
I heard that there are even professional chefs who used to work in restaurants recruited into the navy.
The precision of the naval kitchen reminds me of running a factory
Many dishes on board are prepared from standard recipes to ensure consistent quality.
The coordination between the food warehouse, kitchen, and service department is an extremely tight chain.
When people think of the navy, they think of missiles, planes, few people think of rice cookers, food trays.
Honestly, I think being a chef on a ship is more stressful than being in a restaurant where mistakes are not allowed.
If the food is not good, the morale of the whole team can be affected, the role of the chef is very important!
The atmosphere of the ship's dining hall can be the only place where soldiers can relax and chat after their shift.
Sometimes, a hot cup of soup on the deck in the middle of a cold night is worth more than guns and bullets.
