The US Navy has denied reports of food shortages on board two major vessels participating in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Yesterday USA Today reported crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were not getting enough to eat.
One photo taken by a Marine showed a mostly empty lunch tray with a single scoop of shredded meat and one tortilla.

Mmm…unidentified piece of meat.
Reminds me of Steak-umm. Ground up meat trimmings formed into a loaf that is sliced thin before cooking. Frequently used in place of higher quality cuts in cheese-steak sandwiches. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it presented in such a depressing manner, though.

Makes you wonder where all that money is going…
Auditors wonder the same thing.
Potential recruits: If they’re not even going to feed you properly, what makes you think they’re gonna pay for college?
routine menu adjustments are simply how we optimise our endurance to keep our warships in the fight
omg I thought your quote was parody and then I read the article
New image challenge just came in: US Military dinner or US school lunch
During WW2 in the pacific theater the navy had a ship that was used to make ice cream.
Looks like the American Navy is now another victim to corruption in the military complex.
It’s been one for a while now.
Who ever heard of a corner store before
No, of course not. Don’t be silly! We have no shortage of strange gray slabs of dubious food. Plenty to go around, in fact!
didn’t most of the military vote trump? therefore they vote to eat that.
So, it’s safe to say the authenticity of the photo is indeed legitimate.
I’d rather eat an mre
Ambiguous glistening meat slab again? We had that last night!
Anyone with relevant experience able to tell me what the kinda grey, silvery thing on the tray is? Maybe it could be fish, but I can’t see any scales? Looks kinda like a large, used condom.
Someone here said it could be a slice of gyro.

An army marches on its stomach. Doesn’t sail on it I guess.
The US has turned into Russia 2.0.
