My Dad served in the South Pacific in WW II for over 3 years.....those guys back then had nothing pretty much as far as a ship store from what I remember him telling me.....they just did not have the logistics they have now.....plus it was WW II shortages everywhere.....he told me they ate pretty much canned milk and powdered eggs etc.....no air con either...... went up top side at night with bed rolls to sleep......he loved it though......before he died and had dementia he told me he dreamed/thought a lot about his time in the Navy.....he was my hero and the best Man I have ever known.....I love you dad and miss you...Love Gordo......

Not really, it's more like a 7/11, you can get snacks, drinks, bath supplies, underwear, uniform accessories, a few other things. Regular meals come from the galley, there's no place to cook anything other than in a microwave anywhere else, and spare uniforms (if needed) are provided from another source

Ships store on a carrier is extremely nice. When I was in the Navy I served on 2 FF's, they were in a 10 foot "closet" lol

When I was in the navy (80-84 uss constellation) we had several ship stores.All food and candy was sold at forward and aft stores called gedunks.How many stores are on a modern carrier?

Say, you all have any Brylcreem in the ship store? For those of you who do not know what Brylcreem is: it is a classic hair-styling and conditioning cream which was used by so many sailors back in the 1930's - 1980's.

you know they have it made when they selling Afro comb picks.

Geedunk. Pretty thin selection. The further you get away from conus the thinner. Also Navy chow at the end of a 13000 mile long supply chain is the same. Dehydrated, canned or if you're lucky frozen hotdogs or dried beef in flour and water sauce over bug ridden toast.

We would buy up all the non refrigerated monsters and stick them in the ac vents up in top. The ships store was great.

You got the same ol customers come and go in the next 6 months at sea... LOL...

Thanks, I always wondered what the ship's store looked like. Bigger than I thought. I still prefer AAFES shoppettes. "Why", you ask? They are on land.

Thanks for that!

I have been around the military all my life (but never a member) and this just popped in my head: Printed newspapers are all on the decline for various reasons, mostly people just get digital subscriptions or the app to the papers they want, but do deployed sailors, marines, and officers get media via digital means (smartphones, pads, and pods as well)? What about forward deployed personnel? I've been in ship stores on both amphibs and carriers and I do not recall seeing printed newspapers and magazines (like NYTs, Time, Life, et al).

no newspapers in ship's stores unless that has changed. besides, it would only be for the Base area anyway.

A third class with two warfare pins? I remember around 1998 when they said they would start making warfare pins mandatory. Older salts said "they only way that will happen is if they make them much easier and less prestigious." Coincidentally, around the same time they took-away any points towards advancement for having a bachelor's degree; So a warfare pins which means nothing in the real world means everything in the Navy and a degree which means everything in the real world means nothing in the Navy. Go figure.

@theblackknight9783

The warfare pin requirements were changed. In February of 2021 a Sailor would have to be an E5 to get a warfare pin. But an E4 with a ep on their last eval could get a pin. Then there are those Sailors who were grandfather in. If a E4 and below took and passed the test, they can still be boarded. Not sure how prestigious warfare pins were prior to 1998, but the issue I had with it is junior sailors were so focus on getting their pins instead of learning their rate, some were useless. They just got their pins so they could flex it on their uniforms. Another issue is when advancement season would come around some junior sailors were upset they didnt get maped to the next rank. My argument is, well if you can study for a warfare pin and pass two boards, you should be able to pass your advancement exam and earn rank that way.

I didn't realize a military ship would have a store.

Love the way this was put together. :)

our ship store (1968)was about 8x10 and sold candy bars, cigarettes, lighters, ballcaps, toiletries and . . .some other stuff. We paid cash. One guy ran it and it was open about two hours a day.
