This one looks pitiful! Especially since it's being served to adults who are serving our country!

I call Bravo Sierra (bullshït) on this. You stand in line with your tray and select what you want put on it. Some ships might not have a great selection, but there is always a protein, starch, and vegetables, and usually a salad bar, plus dessert. I was on a carrier and our aft galley had the healthier options, salad bar, taco bar, and sandwich bar. Our forward galley had more of the junk food, burgers, hot dogs, pizza. Also had a salad bar and a pasta bar. Both had bread, peanut butter and jelly, and dessert. I too could have this put on my tray, take a pic, and say we weren't getting fed.

I ate extremely well on my ship. It had huge buffets and lines where you could pick what you want. Also had Starbucks.

Throw on some fries or wallpaper paste instant mashed potatoes and a tiny, expired carton of milk that sticky from spills during shipping and that's pretty much what my school lunches looked like right down to the jailhouse food tray.

This is not the norm. Rationing or just chose not to get what else was avail.

Absolute bullsh.it! Again, they can afford new aircraft carriers that go unused cuz they weren't needed in the first place but the actual people are fed something akin to dog food.

Nothing like this in the Danish Navy. My nephew is a cook on a ship with about 100 people. They are one baker and 3 chefs. For example when they have spaghetti bolognese it better be good if 2 chefs have had 8 hours to make it :D

This is terrible.

Where's the rest of it?

The poor aim is insult to injury.

This can't be. The sailor probably only took what he liked, the rest of the choices on the menu that day were not to his liking. That's my explanation of what's going on here. Or the ship was running low on supplies.

I doubt it. This looks very very VERY staged or for a very specific purpose - like jail or something or the photographer decided to take a dump on the ship board chefs. Even Naval bootcamp serves better and more food than this.

Someone send this to Gordon Ramsay on twitter! He's gotta roast this!!!! 🤣

"who ordered the liquid s**t?"

Anyone wanna trade out for some MRE's?

That's really all for an adult??? This is just sad 😭

That's worse than jail

Woah, I've had those wanna be potato chips at school before

Mutiny is the first thing that come to my mind.

Sorry, there were chef's on my son's ships.. this looks like Army food.

Wtaf is THAT?!?! ...also the depressingly empty compartments....

All of us in the US are just crying seeing all of these

Poor poor sods !!! That's actually disgusting given. What they are expecting of their workers !!

I don't know what rustbucket you're on, but while I was in the Navy, we ate good.

I did my military service in the French Navy (not onboard). There is a tradition that the food there is among the best you can get in the military. In previous centuries, bad food was a main concern on ships as it might cause rebellion among the crew. My father had spent 12 months on an aicraft carrier back in the 60's and confirmed this to me (that is where he ate lobsters for the first time). I myself used to run, swim or lift weight for about an hour every day during that time and eventually put on 15 (healthy) pounds in 12 months.

On a NAVY SHIP?! … I thought those guys really needed to eat good food, considering the job they do. Shows what I know, I guess.

EEuuww.
