How do submarines store and cook enough meals to sustain their crew for months without ever surfacing?
Unlike surface ships, submarines cannot receive regular food deliveries. From the moment they leave port, they carry everything they will need for the entire mission. Fresh produce, meats, and even everyday essentials like milk and bread must be carefully packed, rationed, and stored in ways that maximize both space and freshness. Every inch of available space is used—from hidden compartments under the floor to tight storage lockers along the walls.
Cooking on a submarine presents an entirely different challenge. The galley, or kitchen, is no bigger than a small walk-in closet, yet the crew must be fed three times a day, every day, without fail. Specially trained Navy culinary specialists manage the impossible—preparing thousands of meals in a high-pressure environment, using limited resources, and keeping morale high even in the most isolated conditions.
But how long can fresh food really last underwater? What happens when supplies run low? And what does a meal actually look like after 90 days at sea?

I'm US Army 1980-1983. I took our cooks for granted, but I really should not have. I ate well in the army, so here I would like to salute all the cooks in the US Military. You guys rock!
My youngest brother was a Navy cook on a mine sweeper in Vietnam. He loved it, and he loved to tell stories about his adventures of cooking while in the middle of a turbulent, roiling sea. When he re-upped, they sent him to mine school, and he became a demolition expert and retired at 22 years of service. He's no longer with us, and I miss him and his hilarious, descriptive sea-bound cooking tales.
I was an Air Force cook 1972-1980, I salute the Navy cooks that have to work in such a small area and still have to keep everyone Happy. When your a Military cook, keeping everyone Happy is always a challenge. Hopefully you will be recognize for you service to the Country after you get out of the Military. Thanks for your Service.
The cooks and baker we had on our submarine were the best. Fresh sticky buns in the morning and a great steak and shrimp for dinner made life alot easier
The repetitive nature of this video reminds me of writing essays in college when you are trying to fill a word quota.
Those who never spent 90 or 100 days onboard a nuclear sub under so-called "paragraph 9" (no surfacing, no offboard communication for enlisted, no contacts with the rest of.the world), those guys and gals would never be able to fully understand what having a good meal three times a day means for the crew. It's a pivotal thing, a force that keeps you sane, THE force that makes it possible to get through such a mission and gey back home. The US Navy Culinary Specialists, you are, indeed, one of the most important parts of the Navy!
..I was USN 81-85, but on a surface ship. I will never forget the experience I had while in the Navy. The food was always good and I made some terrific friends. This was 40 years ago, and I still have fond memories. Boot camp was a little scary tho I will admit. LOL...Good luck to all the young sailors just starting their careers in the military. After graduating from HS, if college is not for you, consider the military.
Thanks for repeating stuff so much incase we missed it the first 20 times.
The Chefs at Great Lakes Naval Training Command in the mid 80's were amazing. Some of the best military food I had ever eaten. Thanks to all the great chefs in our Armed Forces !!!!
Thank you for this video.
My dad was on USS 585 Skipjack in the 1960s. I remember him telling us about the food and how much he appreciated what the galley accomplished for the crew.
I was on the Honolulu (718). Our CS Division did an outstanding job. Submarine sailors don’t have everything the surface navy has, but we’re fed DAMN GOOD.
Lol! I served my sea time on submarines. It was an all hands evolution. The fresh fruits and vegetables, it last about 45-50 days. Then canned, dehydrated would be used. The older boats, Cold War era, had a crew of about 160, missile boats, fast attack, about 100, diesel boats about 75-80. Missile boats about 180 days, average. Everything came through a 2 foot diameter hatch. It did take time. The cooks, these guys WERE the real magicians. They could make canned and dehydrated food taste like mom's home cooking. At Sub Base New London in the enlisted dinning facility (EDF) there was a sign above the chow line that proudly stated " Through these lines pass the best fed sailors in the fleet". I was the Doc, Independent Duty Corpsman, on Sub's. Left sub fleet in 1985. I started in Submarines in 1979 at Naval Base Subic P.I. diesel sub there. I served on all three types of submarines. Several different classes of Submarines
Unsung heroes of every military branch. 👍. Thanks guys for five years of very good food. Never had a bad meal while on Marine bases or while on a float.
There is no need to hit rewind if you missed any of what was said; just keep watching, and you'll hear it again and again and again.
I love that they plan for those special occasions like thanksgiving
I have a small walk-in closet. That kitchen is bigger than my kitchen. I want to see this guys small walk-in closet, lol. Good stuff. I love the channel
During my time in the Canadian military, I never had a bad meal at any Mess Hall! The food was always yummy; appreciated the work of the cooks! 🧡
These guys and gals are true culinary experts on these boats. They deserve 5 stars across the board for their constant efforts and Hard work on these missions..........
USS YorktownCG-48 here. As part of being a new crew member, I had to spend time int he galley. Of course, I mostly just did the grunt work. I also took them for granted. This is a lot of work. I salute all of you.
Thankfully only had one hitch serving on the submarine fleet, but I went on to serve the Navy for 38 years before I retired as a master chief petty officer some 3 years ago serving on Nimitz class aircraft carriers the food was always fresh and hot, served with plenty of gravy made it taste better and palatable.
