Inside US $13 Billion Nuclear Aircraft Carrier Kitchen

[Music] foreign [Music] and welcome back to the fluctus channel [Music] an aircraft carrier is a small City at Sea that acts as a base for launching and recovering aircraft and provides accommodations for the entire crew [Music] it might be considered a movable U.S territory with extraordinary military might to support the forces mission whether on land or in the ocean life Must Go On this is especially true for crew members on aircraft carriers that have spent nearly their entire operational lives at sea on this aircraft more than 5 000 Sailors are required to live and work together for several months Harrier is a huge entity that requires extreme care to be taken and organizing it because it is more than just a combat enabled platform foreign addition to being provided with weapons it must also be furnished with enough food [Music] before leaving the port the ship is loaded with a substantial amount of food and other supplies foreign Ty and quantity of food may impact the crew's Effectiveness on the ship which is why this operation is just as crucial as arming the aircraft carrier most of the time they restock while at Sea using a technique known as underway replenishment a supply ship stocks supplies such as fuel food ammunition and mail from a friendly port to catch up to the fleet and sail alongside the carrier at the same speed from there the supply can be moved from the supply ship to the carrier given that each crew member consumes Three Square meals a day the amount of food that must be produced on the aircraft daily can reach up to 17 000 meals making it a laborious and expensive task there you go get some turkey and a gravy uh unsurprisingly an aircraft carrier Galley that is bustling with activity resembles a large restaurant kitchen because satisfying meals are crucial to keeping crew morale High throughout the deployment culinary experts wearing uniforms and hats handle the cooking and ensure the crew is nourished foreign despite not being on the battlefield these Cooks play a vital role in the crew's overall performance [Music] the chefs follow a menu cycle that lasts for a predetermined number of days often 15 days on average all right potatoes the plan their strategy around efficient time management and they rise early enough each morning to guarantee that breakfast is served at roughly 6 A.M foreign has a certain task to complete and they all complete it to serve the crew members delicious meals on time [Music] [Music] the crew chiefs and officers received their meals from various sides of the aircraft's galley [Music] it should come as no surprise that all of this adds up to a staggering average daily feeding expense of between forty five thousand and sixty five thousand dollars although they come from several lines each person receives the same kind and quantity of food the sailors spend quality time together and commemorate significant events in the most compelling ways despite being away from home and living at sea every crew member on board will celebrate a crew member's birthday by treating them to a special meal during that month oh I hope I get that close right there on an aircraft carrier the crew members also have lavish Thanksgiving Christmas and New Year's celebrations together they enjoy activities like watching football eating pies going to Banquets and kicking field goals very good even though they might miss the holidays at home they are undoubtedly establishing a home for themselves while they live away from home cooking in a submarine is no different but it is definitely more difficult [Music] cooking in a 15-foot tiny Galley can be challenging and it becomes considerably more daunting when the cooks are required to cook without any equipment utilizing an open fire [Music] two to four Cooks work in the galley to make daily meals for around 100 sailors for certain patrols which could last for weeks or months submarines can carry up to 160 pounds of food per man Park please The Culinary experts on the submarines are frequently renowned for their gorgeous Flawless Fusion of rare Perfection and food for people inside the waterproof vessels submarines serve as an intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance or ISR platform because of their ability to operate covertly and their capacity to endure prolonged submersion writing a submarine requires a combination of several procedures and components each with a specific purpose the control and attack are located in the main room which has periscopes the controls that maintain the submarine balanced at depth are in this compartment including video and night vision cameras foreign behind the residential quarters is a reactor followed by an engineering area and additional ballast [Music] vertical launching systems or BLS missile tubes are located behind the ballast tank which when opened causes the submarine to sink foreign the living area where canned food can be stored everywhere in this area is behind the BLS tubes the submarine is an enclosed vessel that is slightly over 337 feet long the reactors and propulsion systems occupy one-third of this space leaving the sailors with a minuscule amount of living and working space in the cruise mess or the cafeteria on the submarine a sailor can find a quiet area to read a book the submarine is prepared for many purposes and every square inch has been preserved for a particular reason I haven't accepted the Torpedo Room can occasionally serve as a bunk room in addition to being an exercise room [Music] after waking up from the cramped box watching movies and playing video games on your phone is a terrific way to unwind [Music] however the submariners have established a lengthy number of unspoken guidelines to assist in maintaining order particularly during extended periods Underground [Music] foreign [Music] war machine is designed to do its whole mission fully underwater although there are ways for it to get resupply at Sea via airdrops employing drones for small payloads and planes often the C-17 for bigger payloads air dropping involves using an airplane to transport supplies of food equipment weapons and information foreign State Air Force's C-17 cargo plane can fly enormous payloads across continents with or without stopping to refuel in mid-air its capabilities include quick direct Force delivery by airdrop or Landing in challenging tactical environments [Music] foreign complex equipment can be loaded thanks to its load-bearing rear ramp and skilled crew and ground handlers military vehicles and palletized goods can be loaded aboard the C-17 through a sizable rear door and it has the capacity to airdrop 60 000 pounds in a single drop over 10 000 pounds over the course of several drops [Music] waterproof and floatable features are built into the airdrop Packaging [Music] foreign to several parachutes to guarantee that the supplies enter the water softly to prevent impact damage [Applause] the moving aircraft literally throws out the cargo and is collected by the submarine this process is quite essential since submarines do not have a huge deck compared to Conventional ships ultimately taking care of all the sailors on board requires a significant amount of organization the U.S Navy has undoubtedly discovered some brilliant techniques to guarantee the welfare of its crew members including organizing supplying and even cooking on board that's the end of this video I hope you enjoyed it make sure to subscribe to this channel so you don't miss any of our new content
