Great pic, thanks for sharing!


Modern warships devote space to galleys, kitchens, food storage etc. the crew don't eat MREs or frozen dinners routinely. When you're away from home for months at a time poor food is one of those things that can break you.


If '3D printing' of food is possible in the future then I can imagine kitchens and cooks not being required, but the basic human need for reasonable quality food will still be there.

A friend (and fellow list member, IIRC), sent me the following link last
with with a question wondering what the provisioning of a major fleet
combatant would be like.

My thoughts would be that the meals would be pre-made, much like a
"frozen dinner" or a modern MRE and would be heated in either a
microwave, convection oven, or through some other means.  I don't see a
galley and mess hall being incorporated into a ship's design when you
look solely at the numbers and volume requirement for ship's systems -
it would be wasted space that could be better used for fuel, armor, or
some other "teeth".
