OFF THE COAST OF NORFOLK, Virginia -- In October, an enlisted sailor aboard the carrier Nimitz published a Facebook post that quickly went viral showing an assortment of truly disgusting-looking meals from the mess deck, from raw and bloody roast beef to bread edged in blue mold and grey eggs with fossilized yolks.
While a Navy official came to the Nimitz's defense, pointing out it had been recognized for the best carrier food service in the fleet this year, an array of measures are being taken on the next class of carrier to ensure sailors' mess is better than it's ever been.
On Tuesday aboard the carrier Gerald R. Ford, Military.com toured a galley, or kitchen, and refrigerated storage unit replete with design tweaks to enable food to stay fresh longer and enjoy higher levels of quality control in preparation and service.
