I was serving onboard USS Nimitz 92-95. My duty area was small and only required 3 people on duty at the same time. We took turns for chow, even during the holidays.
As a Marine in Avionics (six months aboard the U.S.S. Oriskany) I can say the food was exceptional…midnight chow meant six eggs and all the bacon you could eat. Chocolate milk was served out of a dispenser. The military gets only small eggs, so six was not unusual.
My father served on the Nimitz from 82 or 83 till 1988, he got off the ship in california just before it steamed west for the Olympics. When in port we would often visit him for lunch or dinner when his 1 in every six day overnight duty fell on a Saturday or Sunday, and i had my 2,3,4, and 6th grade birthday on the ship. He would get a number of fellow sailors to act as sponsor, and i could pick about a dozen friends and a few parents (and i always invited my teacher) and we got a tour of the ship and got to watch The Final Countdown in one of the squadron rooms and got squadron patches my dad would get pilots to sign for us … Bear aces was popular
Holiday meals on Nimitz were alot of work but worth every bit of time we spent trying to make our crew happy....I started on Nimitz in Cargo getting breakouts to the galley everyday, then spent a great deal of my time in the bakeshop, I worked the chiefs mess, the officers galley and spent my last deployment in the aft galley preparing the bulk of the big meals.......what a job, 50 years later its a memory that will never leave me....have a great holidays Nimitz Crew and remember BOHICA
I remember Christmas in the field on the West/East German border in the seventies, the cooks really outdid themselves. We had everything from soup to nuts. Turkey/Ham several kinds of potatoes and all the sides. We ate spaghetti and veal parmesan for weeks before and after, but food was great and surprisingly hot from mermite cans. It is a great memory.
I served on USS Enterprise CVN-65 from 87-90. Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners were always excellent. The Food Service division always went all out and made dinner (and midrats) such a treat. The food was wonderfull! There were ice scupltures and everything!
Good for you shipmate, I was an AQ for 12yrs and they went away too. There were 83 ratings when I joined. I think there are 6-7 now. Did the USN change the emblem in the rating badge when they changed the name?
@debireed6128 when I entered the Navy I went to Commissarymens A school in San Diego as a CS , shortly after arriving on Nimitz the rates of Commisarymen and Steward were merged and we became MS , Mess Management Specialists , (Stewburners) Now Culinary Specialists CS
@ we’re from San Diego California… but boot camp is no longer there. Still a great military town. We have the USS midway. My ex was in the Navy.. but I didn’t recognize MS. Thanks.
@debireed6128 MS is a particular Navy rate, Mess Specialist. Rates are two letter codes that are sort of like an MOS except you are addressed by it along with rank. So an E-4 is a Petty Officer 3rd class, so an E-4 Mess Specialist would be MS3.
Would like to thank the men and women who have sacrificed holidays with their families so that we civilians have the freedom to spend the holidays with our families. THANK YOU and GOD BLESS
@@nonya-hn4lk nope, but everyone's wallet wallet and comforts are. Who do you think secures the shippings lanes and ensures that all goods transported through the high seas are arriving on time and without delay along with the safe return of all though of all those you get you all those goods?
GOD BLESS USA NAVY, AND ALL PERSONAL, HELPING MAINTAIN A FREE WORLD ❤❤❤❤ ,My dad was Royal Navy Malta 1950s, im Navy shipbuilder Australia and New Zealand, cheers from Australia 😂😂❤❤❤❤😊
I was with VS31 Airantisubron 31 aboard the USS Intrepid in 1969-1970. An Essex class carrier out of Quonset Point RI. My last Med cruise I was separated from active duty. The food on board ship was FANTASTIC and as a young man I could eat tons of good food every day at sea. Now at 76 I just look at food and gain weight. Overall my military experience was fine and the thrill of arrested landings and cat shots on an S2E was an experience I will remember all my life. While food is not a first to mind thing, I remember all the great meals I had on board that carrier. Avoid high winds and heavy seas, ya'all. Ren Franse ATR3.
When my spouse was overseas on deployment, the Marine Corp told the families that if we wanted to send Christmas packages we just had to wrap them up and bring them in. They loaded them all up and shipped them over seas for us. Was nice not having to dig up the postage for that. Semper Fi U.S.M.C.
On the USS America CV-66 we always had thanks giving and Christmas they had the best food because you are under way and away from family. I still miss the food and I loved the chili Mac they made. Oh and the chimichanga they made.
I am always fascinated by how the Navy manages to feed thousands of people a traditional Thanksgiving on a boat while doing all the things they normally do. I can't imagine how many months in advance they have to plan all of this.
I was in the navy a total of 23 years. The Mess specialist ( now Culinary Specialist ) ALWAYS pot on a meal that was a feast and fit for heads of state. Holidays, Sundays, workdays, midrats, you name it, they ALWAYS put forth. I always thanked them for feeding the crew and appreciate their efforts. To those thinking of going into the Navy, I can tell you the holiday meals on deployment are the times you will never forget!
All branches of service I thank them for their service wherever they may be. Keeping them healthy is a first priority while providing readiness at the same time to defend against threats is a huge task. A good meal, rest, downtime and other things are very good for morale and hopefully minimize stress being away from home 6 months or more. For me it would be very cool to visit an aircraft carrier but I am not in the service nor do I know anyone in the service. I salute to you all.
My son served on the Nimitz. We had a family sea day going out of Norfolk. I got to walk in these places. Thank you for reminding me how great our US NAVY is.
1990 Thanksgiving, we had fresh baked bread & peanut butter / jelly (not sure what Officers /Chiefs had) onboard USS BUNKER HILL (CG-52) on our way to Dessert Shield/Storm. We took on supplies a few days later & had our meal then. (Retired Navy Vet)
I was reading about the Captain of a ship with nuclear capabilities and the crew loved him because learned and worked in every part of the ship including the cafeteria and washing dishes. He told all his crew and senior staffers that no job is below them and if something needs to get done then everyone has to pitch in. At times this can even involve helping out in the cafeteria.
I would say...we NEED more officers , especially Senior Officers with THAT kind of mind set,.. it sets an example and boosts morale as much, if not more than good food . People under him would be more inclined to go that extra mile . I've been around a couple myself , and they both happened to be Mustangs. (prior enlisted men , or worked their way up the Chain of Command ). Best Regards; Thomas US Navy BT1 Vietnam Veteran 9:35 9:35
To all of our service men and women, past and present, we love you, we are incredibly proud of you, because of you we have the most awesome military to ever exist on the Earth. Thank you all so much for your service to our nation. God bless each and every one of you.
The good old "numb nuts." ^-^ I served on a Nimitz class carrier, and they are awesome projectors of force. And not all that bad to live on and work on. /edit the best part of being on a carrier was the food. The fresh baked goods were especially morale boosting. Nothing like the smell of freshly baked break to really get the old salivary glands working. Sweet rolls (or cinnamon rolls) in the morning, fresh bread with lunch, and dinner rolls for supper.
Retired Canadian Army Officer here. I spent some time attach-posted to RCN units (never on ship) in my career. Two things come to mind. A lieutenant said to me that the navy was the better gig because they brought their beds and a bar into combat with them. (RCN isn't dry.) A couple of years later, an Admiral said to a bunch of us green guys, "I have two words why the navy is better than the army: hot water!" Both were meant in the spirit of camaraderie and both were taken that way. And both were true, so there was no denying it.
Visiting the San Diego ship made aware of how much logistics it goes into feeding every sailor. Thank you for feeding our soldiers and thank you for your service.
Brings back memories from my Navy days onboard the USS Tarawa LHA-1 and USS Carl Vinson CVN-70. Holidays and Steel Beach picnics. Thanks to all who are serving today 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Always enjoyed holiday meals on the Nimitz. Loved that the video even mentioned the engineering and nuclear spaces. Don't know about "special delivery meals" though. We always had to fit in the meals as we had the time. The engineering and nuclear crew never really had time off as sea during my time on board, but then, that was back when the Nimitz was new.
Thanks 🙏 to all the wonderful men and women for your service hope you had a good Thanksgiving Merry Christmas Christmas and a happy safe New Year God Bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
Wow! Such blessings of abundance. Happy Thanksgiving and all the other everyday meals. All the officers/soldiers look very healthy and happy. Now I wish I would have joined up after graduation
I was on the kitty hawk couple times (westpac, world cruise), and the food was just awesome all the time! I thank you cooks and galley crew for some great stuff!
Nice to see some new footage for a change. So many of these videos you've put out are just repurposed footage. it's a very interesting subject and we'd love to see actual new videos every holiday. I do mean NEW footage.
God bless 'em!!! Back in the mid-'60s, I played guitar every Friday night at the Enlisted Men's Club, Mayport Naval Station, for a couple years, and was always happy to do it. I later played at the same base, but the Officers' Club. Videos like this, make me glad to pay my yearly taxes.
The holiday meal looks delicious. They never said how many turkeys they go through. I'd like to know. It's nice that they decorate and try and make everything festive. The sailors must get lonely during the holiday. It sounds like they try and keep people busy with activities
Decades ago my late father served on the USS Lake Champlain, now mothballed. When my sister and I were very little girls we ate dinner on the carrier any time it was in port. I remember pea green soup which I detested. 😅 Daddy flew jets, lots of missions. We ate so often on the carrier that the waiter figured out pea green soup wasn't favorable for 2 little girls, he would make us chicken noodle soup and dye it green. 😅 I remember a Christmas dinner on the carrier, most families attended. Very festive and we had ham with all the sides. The USS Lake Champlain I think, was the last carrier built with a slant deck. The stories Daddy told about flying were always riveting. 😊
I think it would be fair to say that most warships, small or huge, would have a top team of Chefs onboard. I know that we did in our tiny little Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigate .The Sunday Roasts were to die for. Especially the gravy and bloody fresh roasted vegetables when we could get them.
TIN CANS 78- 82...... KUDOS TO SUPPLY DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE GLOBE IN EACH BRANCH..THE HOLIDAYS ARE A BIGGEE AND THEY ALWAYS PUT THEIR SHOULDERS TO THE WHEEL BIG TIME.( EX. ENGINEER).THANKS GUYS AND GALS.
We didn’t have this onboard the USS Constellation CV64. We had holiday meals but this was 1998 to 2002. Food was good but we didnt have it this comfortable
The recipe cards were set for 100 people. I was an MS on board the USS Capodanno FF1093. My New England Clam Chowder was famous. I cooked in the enlisted mess hall. The Officers found out The chowder was on the menu and came down early to get some.
If not, too much mistaken, this was the aircraft carrier used in the movie the final countdown beautiful Shipton and beautiful ship now thanks for this upload you guys and merry Christmas to all and love from all of us on Staten Island, New York
The Most Memorable Thanksgiving for me was in 1983, Had Guard Duty at the West German/Czech Border (Hof Germany) from 8 AM to 10 PM on thanksgiving, The Officer of the Day Dropped off some Sea Rations around 16:30 and that was that.
I don't know if this is done or not, but I heard that it was arranged that family of the crew could record a short message to their sailor and it would be played at lunches or dinners throughout the week. The recordings would be grouped by department and played at meals or recreation time. Just a "Hello! We miss you and hope you're well. Enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner. We love you." It makes all the difference to servicemen and women far from home and family.
Nah, it was just another day, another meal. You stay in long enough, holidays start losing their meaning, and just become another day. I can't recall how many birthdays, holidays, or even funerals I missed, but it wasn't a few. Good food for what it was nonetheless, respect to the galley crews, definitely worked longer hours than most divisions.
I am army. I can and will talk shit about the Navy. Or any branch. If you have not served and talk shit you will be lined out. Thank you United States Navy. It's almost Christmas. Let's all remember there is thousands of U.S. troops around the world. Lord be with my Brothers and Sisters in Arm's. Lord keep them safe.
Let us know your experience with the food on an aircraft carrier! What do you think about it? 💙
I was serving onboard USS Nimitz 92-95. My duty area was small and only required 3 people on duty at the same time. We took turns for chow, even during the holidays.

Thank all of us for ur service I had family in midway and dday
Former Destroyer sailor here from 1979 to 1985. I will say I never had anything other than a great holiday meal on board ship even when deployed.
How bizarre, my son was born in 1979 & my daughter was born in 1985 😮
Thank you for your service.

This is insane how they do it… biggest respect
Military precision and orderly preparation plus dedication. That’s how it’s done.
I served as a. MS. on Nimitz during her 1st 3 deployments, It was and honor to cook for the crew of Nimitz.
Good for you shipmate, I was an AQ for 12yrs and they went away too. There were 83 ratings when I joined. I think there are 6-7 now. Did the USN change the emblem in the rating badge when they changed the name?
What is MS? Civvy translation of your MOS?

They don't make a habit of creating officers with that mindset
Now THAT sounds like a better choice for sec of defense…
THAT is Leadership!
food prep should use gloves
I would say...we NEED more officers , especially Senior Officers with THAT kind of mind set,.. it sets an example and boosts morale as much, if not more than good food . People under him would be more inclined to go that extra mile .

As close as they got was saying the refrigerated lockers housed “hundreds of turkeys.”

I don't know if this is done or not, but I heard that it was arranged that family of the crew could record a short message to their sailor and it would be played at lunches or dinners throughout the week. The recordings would be grouped by department and played at meals or recreation time. Just a "Hello! We miss you and hope you're well. Enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner. We love you." It makes all the difference to servicemen and women far from home and family.
Nah, it was just another day, another meal. You stay in long enough, holidays start losing their meaning, and just become another day. I can't recall how many birthdays, holidays, or even funerals I missed, but it wasn't a few. Good food for what it was nonetheless, respect to the galley crews, definitely worked longer hours than most divisions.
God bless the men & women of the United States Navy,...and _ALL_ of the branches of our Armed Forces! 🙏 _THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU_ !!
Once a cook always a cook
I am army. I can and will talk shit about the Navy. Or any branch. If you have not served and talk shit you will be lined out. Thank you United States Navy. It's almost Christmas. Let's all remember there is thousands of U.S. troops around the world. Lord be with my Brothers and Sisters in Arm's. Lord keep them safe.
