As a "sea behemoth", an aircraft carrier needs the cooperation of thousands of crew members. Take Nimitz as an example. It has 6,111 crew members and consumes dozens of tons of ingredients every day. What do these thousands of crew members eat for three meals a day?

According to a survey, two-thirds of American adults are overweight, which is closely related to their eating habits. Americans like to eat sweet, cold and raw food. Their eating culture can be generalized as fast food culture, and this habit has been perfectly transplanted to aircraft carriers, where ham and hamburgers are common. Although there are sailors' restaurants, officers' restaurants and captains' restaurants on the aircraft carrier, only the places where they eat are different, and the food standards are uniform. Sailors' daily food allowance is $7, and only this $7 can make you doubt your life.

the daily food cost of an American aircraft carrier is about $51,111, and the deployment period of an aircraft carrier is usually about half a year. According to a rough calculation, only the food eaten is as high as $9 million. There are as many as 11 compartments for storing food on the ship, 5 vegetable rooms and 7 dry goods rooms, and they can carry food for nearly three months every time they perform combat missions. Perhaps the United States is the only country with such a huge expenditure.

Because the navy is on duty in three shifts, the restaurant is open for 23 hours every day, and 91 chefs take turns to serve the whole ship. The recipes of officers and men are changed every two weeks for nutrition collocation. Although the staple food is still chicken, beef and seafood, there are more than 81 kinds of desserts that Americans like best, such as cream cakes, sandwiches and fruit salads, so it is really possible that Americans are obese.

In their spare time, officers and men will also taste all kinds of iced drinks, ice cream and cocktails. Of course, coffee is also essential. There is also a Starbucks coffee shop on board, which is extremely humanized. Americans like to take the whole family outdoors for picnics and barbecues on weekends. Therefore, when the weather is fine, the officers and men on the aircraft carrier will also organize large-scale parties and directly carry out barbecue, karaoke and other activities on the deck to relax.

In addition to the above-mentioned big meals, the chefs on the aircraft carrier occasionally cook some unique delicacies for the officers and men. Snacks from many countries, egg cakes from China and Turkish meatballs are very common. Isn't it incredible? In fact, the Liaoning ship in China is also very attentive in catering. It also has a halal restaurant specially to provide logistics services for officers and men to the utmost. After all, only when it is full can it play a high fighting capacity.
