Critical support to the US Navy in its ongoing mission to give US sailors skurvy and destroy whatever morale is left.

That table background is making me queasy, the revolting fare plus having to eat below decks on the high seas must have people running for the (backed up, overflowing) heads

From true anon hahaha

my favorite running bit is the “?” after “CW MEAT”, because it really does apply

The navy is just doing their best to help with hiding troop death numbers and minimize the cost of feeding the still-alive (for now) troops, smh you tankies just hate efficiency alphys-smug

Looks a little like sausage gravy on a biscuit

Could be chipped beef

Either way, looks awful

And to drink?

Mountain dew or crab juice.

our meals have been better than this and we are the ones getting bombed. maybe the toilet thing wasn't deliberate sabotage the sailors were just having a hard time.

US army solved their logistic problems: you can't clog the toilets when you don't have much to eat. Also the admiral friend's company delivering the food can pocket more money.

first pic, next to the kebab, is that noodles??

dog food is more edible

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

looks like shredded cabbage, like they opened a bag of coleslaw mix and didn't bother adding dressing

[–] cattish@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

It would be too spicy.

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Looks like plain as fuck spiral pasta

rat-salute welcome back battleship potemkin

This isn’t too abnormal imo. Food on ships sucks lmao.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You'd think it was the opposite, that because it's a floating base they'd have access to the good shit and it was the field kitchens at like forward outposts that suck.

[–] AF_R@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

You’d think with 295 combat vessels in the fleet they could load up a destroyer to resupply it with an intermodal container or two full of rice, dried beans, and a pallet of some spices and be done with the whole affair but that’s what competent people would do and this is the west, so…

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

They’re still better than the field kitchens, which says more about the field kitchens than the ships tbh.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

They're getting exactly what they fuckin' deserve

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I thought the thing in the first pic was scrambled eggs at first but now that I zoom in it looks like plain ass noodles

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

You have a bunch of 20 year old trained to kill and you are feeding them what looks like less than half rations.

There are going to be food riots.

It is kinda amaamazong to me that feeding the troops is too hard. Like that is completely operations failure. Is kt thst the ships planned on resupply from the now abandoned bases in the area? And without that they just cant figure out how to a supply boat round? Or is it that they could get local supply boats round but the navy is contractual obligated to only feed the troops lisenced yum brands distributor or something?
