That's actually kind of a neat idea for raising money for museum ships, serving food in the galley. I know if I lived near a warship that opened their galley as a kind of restaurant, I'd be in there all the time.

My understanding is that there a multiple types of farina, which is not a whole wheat hot cereal. Farina is the left-overs after milling wheat to make flour, so it's not the complete wheat kernel. The crushed (or cracked) whole wheat hot cereal is trademarked as "Zoom" by Krusteaz.

Hi David. How did your mom’s cooking compare? ~8) Back in those days, I think, it would take a special kind of lady to choose a partner who was better at one of womens’ core contribution to family. Good for her, and I hope she learned to swear good too. About your dad’s career, that is cool. My dad flew New bombers across the Atlantic (his only option after successfully fighting assignment as a flight instructor). My dad almost never spoke about his time in service, which included Cold War jets in Europe. He rarely offered, and I rarely ever asked, though I had a rough outline. Now that these things interest me, I find my younger disinterest perplexing. ~8O I hope you know a whole bunch of great stories from your dad. I hope the carrier cooks got time to swim during Steel Beach. Some time off from... hey, I just thought of sunburn lol! Oof. If your dad was on a not-carrier, do you know if they had an equivalent? Not just swimming, because even submarines do that, but BBQ’s up on a weather deck. Cheers from Edmonton. - John

Battlefield 3 release on USS Hornet was by far one of the best events in the history of historic ships. Overnights, LAN competitions, massive turnout and it was my birthday. Truly epic and I invite any historic naval ship to try and top it.

Did quite a few cruises on the John W Brown. We'd be "attacked" by the CAF and it was great watching all the boats tagging along suddenly start to scatter when an aircraft would come at us a few hundred feet off the water. Then we'd "fire" at them with a few of our guns rigged up for propane noise making. The gunners on the larger guns had old empty shell casings they throw against the gun tub to replicate the sound of the casing ejecting.

When you're talking about what merchant mariners were eating, one of the other channels I subscribe to is Chief MAKOi. He's a chief engineer on merchant ships, and does a number of videos on life on a modern merchant ship, including the food.

I remember I went and slept over on the battleship NJ when I was a cub scout, awesome time! Been dragging my friends to every battleship museum ever since. Just got back from Massachusetts at battleship cove :)

Just visited Red Oak Victory this past Sunday! Such an amazing ship to tour. You can explore the entire thing including the engine room (if you do the guided tour) and the shaft alley. Amazing. You forgot to mention that the potato peeler was steam powered!

We had that same exact can opener in our high school lunch room in the late 70's. Worked great on those big #10 tins. One time we had a bunch of commodity orange juice concentrate that came in big "tin" cans. One of the cooks plunged the can opener into the top of the can - and orange juice went everywhere! Those "tin" cans were actually silver colored cardboard. But you had to look pretty close to notice the difference.

I’ve got a 230v one downstairs, going to make breakfast on it now. This does raise the question of how the US runs things like toasters on their lower voltage. Or is it actually more powerful for toasters, as toasters are just “restive loss in transmission” machines?

How long were the on duty shifts of this ship and the shifts on the New Jersey? Did they vary? And how did the crew know when their shift started or ended? Someone show up and say "your relieved" or some other formal way? I'm taking it they didn't punch time clocks. I'd love to be able to spend a day exploring this ship! If you'd bring it to Evansville Indiana you can park it next to our LST 325. I believe it's the only still seaworthy LST that I read about. Road trip?

My first HS job was working the food line of a local college. We used one of those large can openers occasionally. There, and in the butcher shop that was my first Union job (my second regular HS job) the walk in reefers had a knob that looked like a door knob that ran through the door and actuated the latch on the outside so you would not be locked in. It was distinctive so you could find it in the dark and all you needed to do was push it (when the door closes it shuts off the light so it needs to be simple). Besides making food aboard two different museum ships for regular evens (on wood fired stoves) my favorite event involving food on a museum ship was the night we had a shantey sing going including serving hot beverages out of one of the galleys and a friend of mine was renting the other ship for her wedding reception. She came down to the ship we were on still in her wedding gown with all the left over cake and fed a hundred or so of us and song some very naughty shanties!

Yummy menu!

I enjoy amuture radio events on the Turner Joy using some of the ships original antennas...they also host gost tours...they say the ship is haunted...they also have it as a haunted ship on Halloween...

Looks like they are doing a great job restoring Red Oak Victory . I've seen and read about Liberty ships , but never heard of the later victory variant . They , and the brave men who crewed them , were vital in the battle of the Atlantic .

Sounds like sailors at real well on this ship.

As for can openers, I had relatives in WWII, and heard that one relative cut hinself opening a can of lard. To save his Jewish mother grief, he said it was a can of chicken fat. I think he was the same one who was in shore sick bay with appendecitis when his ship was sunk.

I'd get a kick out of having a couple of those metal mess trays. Amazon has two, look to be the same brand, and the reviews say they are not as thick as the real McCoy.

Those guys on the supply ships know how to live. It's just like the modern USNS ships, cook to order meals.

Ok Brian; Can we have a pancake breakfast on NJ? Doesn't have to be pancakes: could be eggs, bacon and sausage. I would be interested.

The battleship Massachusetts has a little snack bar/finger food place near the officer ward room.

Those peelers are good for turning full size potatoes into golf balls...

They ate way better than me.

I've never understood the reasoning behind the navy prohibiting the reactivation of the galley equipment on museum ships. Being able to serve food for events and having the ice cream for sale to the tourists on tours would be a useful additional income stream. Can you even use the serving line with food from a catering company?

I love stewed prunes. They used to be so popular a few generations ago, but like other things made with plums & prunes, they've virtually disappeared.

So, with more canned food did the sailors notice a decline in food quality over the course of WW2? Do you have any records or testimonials from sailors who were on the ship for a long time during the war that mention it?

if I had to guess, it would be that the peak quality would probably be reduced because there wouldn't be as much top quality fresh stuff available, however, the average quality was probably better, because there'd be more decent quality canned goods which would last a much longer time, and thus provide more variety of stuff for most of the voyage.
