Speaking as an Australian, the sheer logistics blows my mind. Absolutely brilliant!

My hats off to those Navy cooks; they kept us well-fed during my time in the Navy. Except for mess cranking, they sent us to the grinder!! The POT SHACK in 1990 sucked.

Congratulations shipmates God bless you always and thanks for your service 👍👍👍👍👍

I got out of the Navy in 1974. I can tell you they had some of the best food in the military or at least I thought it was when I was growing up it was just me and my brother and my dad. We learned how to cook, but when I went in the Navy, the food got a lot better.😂 I think all young men should have to go into the military at least for a year out of high school. You’ll get integrity and learn a lot and it’s a good place to get a education for a job like pipefitter or even the Seals. That boy cooking has a tattoo on his neck. That stuff wasn’t allowed when I went in. They must’ve lightened up a little bit. I’ve been hearing there a little bit you know what 😅

Thank you for your service ladies and gents...

I was in the Navy for 20 yrs and NEVER did we EVER refer to them as "Chefs". LOL

Man maybe I am the only one that feels this way and it’s ok. But it pisses me off to watch these guys have to pay for anything. They are out there 24/7 protecting our freedom they should be able to get a soda whenever they want or a snack or a Starbucks coffee without having to pay a cent out of their own pocket while on the ship Thank you for all that you do for our country.

Well, they say "Freedom doesn't come free". This is what they mean. But you should be worried about Malaysian and Hong Kong Businessmen making a fortune supplying them. Wasn't one caught in a scandal. Apparently, he was rewarding officers with women too, who complied.

As much as I want to say "The ship's paying for the food", they are still chefs at heart. The food still is on a tab... and someone has to pay.

Rule #1: Don't anger the cook. Rule #2: Refer to Rule #1 !! Be thankful for MIDRATS.

Kind of crazy they have stores on the ships. Shouldn't all the people get their needs provided without spending their own money?

Chunky sailors today, very different from WWII sailors same food

Absolutely amazing how they provide fast and nutritional meals round the clock for 5000 people!!! Incredible!! Keep up the great work Ladies and Gentleman!!

Imagine joining the navy, being assigned to a carrier, and then getting posted at the Starbucks serving coffees.

Army in early eighties, I appreciated the food and found it enjoyable. But it was absolutely mind blowing when you consider the quantity and quality these guys produce every single day.

Navy veteran here, great food, nothing like a night on the town when in port, comimg back to midrats, custom order omelets sunday morning, put on 30 lbs

You can never tell they’re even in a ship. Incredible.

My x wife was in the Navy and yes I can agree that the Navy feeds its people very well. We had a family "Golden Corral" kinda place on base whre we were living and for $5 (if you weren't enlisted) you got 2 plates of food as high as you could stack it. I won't lie I'd enlist but I'm 36. I just want an honest job in life.

Wow. They eat good,and they should. They are warriors

Thank you for this uplifting video! It makes me happy to see the care and imagination the galley crew takes to feed ships full of brave men and women. They deserve the best, and it looks to me they are served just that! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

Man, I remember these meals!

The ship doctors will take care of their health by conducting regular medical laboratory tests since the foods they eat are rich in bad cholesterols and sweet foods are abundant plus the soda drinks.

I tell you, cooking is not difficult here. The challenge is planning the supplies, making sure everyone is well fed, enough food for every single one everyday. If you ask me, the cooking planning and logistics team really is a stressful job

God bless our troops

My family has a long history in the Navy!!! 🎉 Thanks for making this great video and thanks to all our service members! Hugs ❤ 🤗

Love videos like this and the comments where veterans share their stories

food looking good ! thanks to the skillful staff on board.

Chief I am on vacation!

I really like it when you can find a sense of humanity in a place you never imagine before.

I was on the Harry S. Truman back in 2000 and was on the first deployment and I remember on Christmas Day was the best meal that I’ve ever had. I’ve never seen so much seafood in my life and that ice cream socials they have were just fire. God i hated Norfolk with a passion, but the Harry Truman will forever be a memory.

Sir i have a question?if the jet fighter pilot have a mission they are allowed to bring food ?

As an ex Austrailian soldier, I remember having a meal in the Sargents mess on the USS Barbor County but in 1987. All I can say is that it was equal too or maybe just a little better from what we were getting in the barracks at my mess at Enoggerra Barracks.

This is why I am trying to get FLorida to get the Nimitz before it gets ripped apart and sold off. Just strip vulnerable stuff and leave the rest for turning it into a floating hotel and reunion ship off the coast of FL. Lots of JOBS and INCOME for FLORIDA

I remember having to push all this cargo up three ladder wells just to get to the mess decks before they could even begin preparation. Good ole' mess cranking duty.

Is this accurate,or they put the best food only for documentary. Its clear that sometimes they have to eat whatever there is available. What I meant is that,do they really eat this good most of the time. Lets say 60% of the time. If that is the case they eat better than most people from third world country or middle class family. If I was an American,I will definitely join navy.

Wow!! And that is just one ship!! The US has many more ships with lots of people aboard. So that must me thousands of meals a day.

Fabulous food. Splash a bottle of 🍷 now

I was in the navy for 27 years before i retired serving upwards of 15,000 meals a day to my fellow sailors and Marines.

It’s persian gulf

i love video cooking

When I was in the only cooks who might have been called a chef were the ones who worked in the wardroom or CPO mess. As for the rest of the unwashed masses, E-6 and below, the cooks were called almost every name in the book. And chef was not one of those words. Even being called a cook was stretching it a bit.

If I hear “venture with” one more time. Choose a different transition

0:17 Does anyone know what they doing? Checking the runaway for objects and damage?

Don't Go " people crazy 🤣 on there , and noisy"

One big chicken for me please !what is the price ?

Back then they use to spit in your food and hand it to you 😂😂

It's all fun and game till it comes too clean those hood racks all the way up too the fan that blows the steam and smoke out

For the best food in the military, you need to serve on a submarine.

I was on the Kennedy in 1980. The food was good, but not *that* good. Cafeteria food.

That's my son's only complaint about being stationed on a carrier. He told me the food is a-- but loves everything else aboard.

This has to be a chatgpt script

People's in the carrier have different task and purpose like in this world there is moves on other role and they are on the same place but each every works are have director to assign and do their task where there is applicable on its expertise.. Even the wages are also have different amount.. Some it may over to their needs and some others are out of concern and also to those have family are enough depend on the situation of living.

They ladies and gentlemen shouldn’t have to buy anything while one these ships or even on base. They already don’t pay these people enough as it is, such a shame our government is so greedy

this is how you recruit people to join navy... food

AND THEN FOR DINNER SOMETHING LIKE A BURRITO BOWL

This is old. You should see what some places in the Navy serve now. It is by far the worst food I have ever eaten. My animals eat better than then the food, and the military gets to eat. If only they hold up to standards

so this is why the us in huge debt

0:36 big homie from the army hood got everyone covered with meals :P If you know, you know
