- United States Navy submariners deploy for months at a time, spending weeks submerged at sea with no internet and minimal contact with the outside world.
Aboard the Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarine USS South Dakota, culinary specialists work tirelessly in incredibly tight quarters to prepare meals for up to 150 crew members.
While the sub was in port at Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, Business Insider spent two days observing how the cooks manage tight spaces, limited resources, and long hours to provide fuel and maintain the crew's morale.

How Navy Submarine Cooks Feed 150 Sailors At Sea | Boot Camp | Business Insider
As a sailor on the USS South Dakota, I can say with the utmost confidence that the men working in the galley are some of the best sailors we have. Especially CSS2 Whitson and CSS3 Manley, they're absolutely the light of the crew and certainly indispensable. The work they do for us is outstanding and I hope they get more help soon because our CS division is very undermanned.
hope you guys have plenty of Cranks! Hooyah
Someone's getting seconds.
Hey one quite curious question. Where do the garbage go? Is it stored somewhere and then discarded by jettison or while doing restock?
@@LeftToFate 93 days booiiiiiii
@@WhatThisVideo-WTv There's a tube similar to the torpedo tubes that we can shoot out compostable stuff. Plastic and anything else harmful to the environment stays on board until we hit port.
I really Can't get over the fact that they're getting away with paying this guy 26k.
Is that 26k in the bank, since all living expenses are paid? I know people making 85k with no savings…
26k is just the base salary. That guy was an E-5, so he's making 34k or more depending on how long he's been working there.
@@MrMaple-iq1shdon’t you get extra hazard pay for working on a nuke sub ? Plus like the guy said that may be just 26-32k in the bank housing and food is taken care of and that may not be counting signing bonus or other types of extra pay.
@@Apolloneek Yes, you do get paid extra for submarine duty, and the amount varies based on your rank and time in service.
@@MrMaple-iq1sh Yeah I mean I don’t know much about the military but if I could bank 26k and live free plus get extras like bonus pay hazard pay signing bonus etc I’d be living great
When I was in the Army I came to realize that the cooks were super hard working individuals. We’d be out in all weather conditions and all different times and the cooks were always there for us. I am so proud of what I just saw. Good job cooks! Your efforts are deeply appreciated. Without you all of the military branches would not be able to function.
whatever u say b0t
Yes they would. Military cooks haven't even existed for 150 years. Every military in history did just fine without them
@@JS-wp4gsyou must’ve been one of the best of the best in the military. i bet you still eat MREs every day.
@@JS-wp4gs Thank goodness warfare hasn't changed in that 150 years.
Thank you for sharing
I'm a 25 plus years US Army tanker and other soldiers would often deride cooks. I would correct them because without the food they make we couldn't function. Especially getting hot food after eating cold MREs. My thanks to all military cooks!
Dang thats unfortunate. Cooking that quantity and keeping it clean and sanitary is quite a task.
As the more properly sourced Napoleon quote goes, "There is no subordination with empty stomachs.", more eloquently phrased as, "An army marches on its stomach."
they deride the cooks because they knew the cooks wouldn't be able to do anything, so the cooks have to "eat it up". This sucks.
Did Doolittle stop for a hot meal between raids that Fateful Day?
These are the questions. 🗿
Yeah, and you punched your drill sergeant, too.....
My son is a Navy Submariner. He's served on two subs and liked to help out in the galley. Watching this makes me feel closer to him, as he can't discuss 98% of what he does and where he goes. All these young men and women deserve our respect and admiration. Thank you all for your service.
Chances are that he just doesnt want to talk to you.
@@Knokos Are you happy now that you got your nastiness out? I always wonder how miserable and pathetic someone must be with their own life that they need to reply to a stranger in such a fashion. I'll say a prayer for peace and happiness in your life.
@@Knokoswtf lol who hurt you? What a miserable thing to comment.
I'm going home to my wife and I'm getting my cuddles is the best line ever.
His wife is probably getting cuddles from other men though. Getting married is pointless in a society that encourages disloyalty in women
she already practiced with most of the dudes in his town so she will be ready
@aaronnilestoussaint5672 odd I commented very similarly and daddy RUclips censored it
@@aaronnilestoussaint5672 what an odd thing to say
@AmortenChai its generally true.
Give those cooks a raise! Many thanks for what you cooks do to serve our country.
You know they get lots of other pays and 100k bonus to enlist for 3 or 4 years right?
They get free housing and food. Relax. It ain't like he's working at Taco Bell.
bruh they get paid way more than just base pay and you’re forgetting insurance is basically free, housing is free, utilities are free. No paying for food on deployments. Literally able to pocket all that with just a cell phone bill.
Are you going to promote them?
@@SergioHernandez-zv5wc Sounds like a regular worker in Europe lol...
Been friends with Curtis for almost 20 years. Getting to see what his life is like on a submarine is super interesting.
He never talks about it?
@@Halcon_Sierreno him telling you about it is different than seeing it recorded I guess
When the line would start backing up I'd really feel like my head was underwater.
I was an army cook 150 men 5 hours no problem, just start with what takes the longest to cook. Nearly 55 years later I still cook that way.
As a prior submariner, our CHOP fucked up the food order before deployment. He added an extra 0 for the hot dog bun order. I ate hot dog bun French toast for breakfast every day for 2 months lmao. Other than that, best food in the navy hands down.
Edit: I am personally offended they showed sailors playing chess and not cribbage or spades XD
Chess ups your military strategy, cribbage ups your mathematical ability which is a godsend for quartermasters and chefs.
@ FTs and Os too. Mental gym is tuff
Hot dog buns are pretty tasty, though. French toast is nothing to complain about.
20 years in the Army and I always made friends with three important groups of people, cooks, supply, and S-1 (admin). They can make your life easy or hell. My hat is always off to the cooks though, a thankless job and even just boiling a T-rat can of whatever made me happy!
Pretty much the same in the Air Force, but just cooks & supply. No one cares about admin.
The mess can and will make or break a crew. In my time my first boat had one of the worst rated messes in the fleet. We got some new guys and they took home the top award the Navy has for the Mess. I got to see wonderful gourmet meals, and also had rice with beetles in it, literally. If you’ve never experienced it, it can blow your mind. Always show love to who feeds you!!
Were you on the Baltimore SSN 704, because I was the one the they brought, "Jesus a shithole!"
Hut!
Are you the Doc!
The Cajun Doc that helped me square that mess away?
Cool.
Dobbs....
Yeah, "That fuckin' Doobs."
when I was in they were rated Mess Specialists (MS) and we ate on the Mess Deck....now they call them Culinary Specialists
Wow!
Ex US Navy Submarine sailor here that was a "Mess Cook for a few months before becoming Qualified on the Boat. Up at usually 4am to retrieve the food from the "Reefer" for the cooks to prepare the days meals and preparing/cleaning the galley and mess for the crew. This is a thankless job that all Sub Sailors that are enlisted and unqualified go through as part of their qualification process and helps to motivate them to get "Qualified" ASAP.
These are the best Culinary Specialists in the Navy. Anyone that has to live and work in an oversized cigar deserves the best food and they get it. I have known many sub sailors and they say the food is the best on submarines. And with a crew of 150 you can flex culinary skills versus cooking in most other ships which have crews anywhere from 300-5000 sailors.
we called them Bubble Heads
this is genuinely super impressive. Could you imagine the stress cooking for a couple of people. Imagine cooking for 150. THREE TIMES a day.
Who are all trained to kill, and know where you sleep.
It would be easier in a proper kitchen. I’ve cooked for 16 people at home and that sucked, I don’t have much counter space.
It's super fun I love it! I road this boat currently on the USS Massachusetts
PLUS in a contained space AND controlled portions 🥹🥹🥹
Plus snacks and midrats
The gentleman who narrates all the Boot Camp videos is simply one of the best narrators on youtube. Always a pleasure to listen to him.
During my time aboard ship, Coast Guard, the cooks got anything they wanted. Everyone respected them.
I served aboard the USS Baltimore SSN 704 from 86-89.
I was also Jack of the Dust.
Respect shipmates.
This new Galley design looks impressive.
This new Galley design looks impressive.
Respect Sir
I was a submariner on a 688 boat and the cooks were what kept our spirits up on long missions. We got great food and plenty of it. On subs the CO eats the same exact food as the crew, so the food has to be good for everyone. The cooks truly are what holds the boat together.
Cooks and medics, the guys that keep moral high, much respect to these people.
"An extra $85 - $600 per MONTH"
What an incentive!
i thought they were going to say PER DAY
That's just sea pay, which scales with rank and time at sea. What they don't tell you is that submariners get the absolute top end bonuses in the Navy ($100k+) plus fast track advancement to higher paygrades. The downside is your ass is gonna earn every dollar.
@driftspecs13 yep. My son is going to get 150k bonus.
@@bernadettegiancarlo6035 how i want to apply and also get something like that?
And that $85 -$600 a month put into investments means you can have a great income after you retire.
I work for a subcontractor for the navy and the gave our company a paid day to go aboard the USS Tripoli. And we actually got to sail around the Golden Gate Bridge and have lunch with the sailors. They had pulled pork sandwiches just like those and Mac and cheese and chocolate chip cookies. The food was absolutely delicious
I can’t imagine what it’s like to spend months on end in a confined tube with no natural light or connection to the outside world that’s 800+ feet underwater, so I’m glad to see that our submariners are fed well.
i like how intense the music is for cooking and baking
As someone said in a previous video, when you hear the voice of this actor you know that will be a good video from Business Insider.
$26,000 a year ?!?!? This man deserves atleast $120,000 salary cmon !!
Thats just his base salary. As a e4 on a submarine I was making around 2300 every 2 weeks. And that was in 2022.
@ thats a pretty good salary you had but i still think you deserved more. The sacrifices that go into that job is insane
Your pay in the military is nearly 100% disposable income. You get housing, healthcare, and meals (among other things) fully taken care of.
That's more money than you think it is, if you factor in the free food, housing, etc. (which would cost at least $3,000/mo.)
So he's got $2,000/mo. to blow, on whatever he wants, not needing food or housing. It's more like a salary of $60,000+/year. That's not that much money, and he's going to work his ass off, but it's not like he's living in poverty. That's a luxurious life, compared to most people in the history of the world.
@ good point
the longer i think about the concept of submarines the more they blow my mind
they take a perfectly good ship and intentionally sink it
I was born on the New London Sub base in Groton, Connecticut and my Dad was shore duty, but before he met my Mom he was a cook on a few of the Subs back in the 50's and on one of the Submarines Jimmy Carter was his boss. Good video thanks and RIP Dad (Joseph Flasco) & Jimmy Carter 🙏🏼🌹🕊️⚓❤❤
That food actually looks really good
Yeah people say submarine food is the best type of military food cuz a lot is homemade or made from scratch
@@Hansolo-h8g Is home... the submarine? :D
@@ThePresat0ryes for 9 months out the year. They live eat sleep and work right there on the sub
It’s bad….
Not the food is bad. Just really good food, and not alot of places to workout.
I know couple of submariners that got fat because of it.
@@Hansolo-h8g and Air force
People who are passionate about cooking and nutrition and producing nutritious meals for warriors are a delight to be around. Food is a spiritual thing, its the fuel that fuels humans that allows them to do extraordinary things
I love the cook straightforward goal: I'm gonna make sure I can feed everyone, if there are hundreds i will make sure all of them are fed
Fun fact they cook everything from scratch not because it is easy, but because raw ingredients takes up less space and are much easier to store.
also goes a long way in upping the quality too
Fun fact, half the stuff is canned. Bulk meats of course like ribeye , ground beef etc will be made into scratch recipes but only thing made consistently from scratch is bread.
The best beef stew and corned beef hash I've ever had were on the boat. Simple things like that make a world of difference. Always be nice to your CSs 💪
Jesus. I would need to take a nap from food coma after these hearty meals. I wouldn't last a say on a sub.
Big props to the Petty Officer and Ensign for the hard work they do feeding that ship.
Thank you to all the great cooks aboard our Navy warships. You play a huge part in making the lives of your crew better. All of you work hard under difficult conditions and so a good meal means a lot to these guys and gals.
Submarine service is the best representation of "one crew, one fight" (despite the dual crew boomers and SSGNs - they are great Americans too). Many of the guys working in the galley are specialized in other rates, but are assigned to support the culinary specialists for a few months at a time.
Culinary specialists are also vital supporting emergency medical teams as well.
Thanks guys! Submarines once, submarines twice...
Holy jumping Jesus Christ
Edit to add: SSN 705 TM/SS '10-'13
@adamantIcarus "God's Boat"
We're COUNTING on these folks to do a mighty job well deserved support . Thanks Sailors and support crews. We need more submarines and built faster. Our Adversaries are out pacing us in build quantities and specialties. We need more supply chains to get these boats built quicker and more subs per shipbuilding facilities.
The cooks are always the unsung heros. They deserve so much more recognition and respect than they get.
The cooks really do play a large part in morale. A hot fresh meal really hits the spot when you've been hard at it all day. You have crews that make mehh by the book food, but it will do the job. When they really go after it, they can make something plain pretty damn good. We had a cook that would make these breakfast burritos that I'd kill for now. The inside was fairly saucy and runny, but the flavor of the sauce, eggs, bacon, and the spices hit just right.
what a life to live as a soldier without war
that boy whippin it up 👨🍳
While I was in the USAF, my buddy was a Navy medic. He spent time on a sub. He said that the food was very important. As the subs have the best food in the military, I wouldn't trade it for being bottled up for that long. But as in ALL the military, it travels on its stomach. So cooks are the base of the military and NEVER take them for granted!
So, I'm retired after 28 years in the military and this still fascinates me. It is a different perspective of the military. Always be friends with the dining facility staff and supply. Just sayin...
They are the back bone, props to the hard working sailors who keep our Navy running.
Navy chefs are the best
I’ve never been in the military. But watching this seems like it would be a good job to have. The people on video all seem like genuinely good people as well to be around.
Am I the only one seeing that name at 10:25 😂
No way haha!
gaylord lol i had to check twice
@@NeO26597 same lol
Did you see the one name tag that said Lebron? 6:06
respect to all the cooks in the navy and the armed forces in general, but just to put thing in perspective i worked in a big place in the center in Berlin Germany. every single day we used to feed arround 600-800 people, its hard fkng job the amazing thing is that this guys are working in a tiny space and basically cut of from the outside world. that by it self is a big ass flex.
Remember, if your cooking is bad, there's nowhere to run.
I wish i understood what you mean by this.?
@@RudyCantu-y2j means they are gonna kill the chef and chef has a swim home
Kudos to the cooks who cook for our troops to ensure they don't go hungry. Underappreciated.
Best food in the Navy in submarines - bar none. Everything they can is made from scratch, including hot dog and hamburger buns. The least that they can do for the mental morale of the submarine fleet. Interesting tidbit is that food is the limiting factor - that determines how long they can stay underwater without re-surfacing. Also, they get food from ports all around the world, ordered by their supply officer - usually known as CHOP. That way, if they know they are stopping in Spain or England, they are ordering food based on their specific English or Spanish port catalogs. Most of the enlisted eat in the mess hall room. The chiefs eat in the chiefs room and the officers eat in their wardroom. Also - cribbage is the best game on board and they have special cribbage peg boards built into the tables in all the mess, chiefs and wardrooms.
They do this job so we can sleep at night. We live in the best country in the world. Outside of this country it can be a damn cruel and wicked place. They protect us 24/7/365. They have my deepest appreciation, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
A cook in the military that cares about quality..is worth his weight in gold!
This is such a professional job,and career.The cooks are very professional too.
Submariners get some of the best food in the Navy. A lot of meals are made from scratch b/c raw ingredients take up less space vs canned & premade food (which a lot of surface ships carry b/c they have the space).
God bless these men and women protection the US
I think they need to raise their pay because, like the guy said, when the cook isn't feeling so hot, the rest of the crew feels it/tastes it. So keep those people helping, but with those amazing skills, it's no wonder some of my cousins in the Navy come back a bit bigger. You guys truly make sure they are well-fed and cared for. So, I would rather you guys get the pay you deserve.
The one thing I miss most from the submarine were the burger buns. To this day I still crave those burgers.
Sliders....used to have them pretty regular for Midrats
In my opinion the cooks in the military, especially those at sea, are the hardest working people. I couldn’t bear that job - the stress and the heat would kill me. I’m a nurse and am used to being on my feet for 13/14 hours a day but in a kitchen? Nope. Lots of submarines pass through where I live in the NW Scottish Highlands. Theres an underwater weapons testing range here and we grew up watching them slink through the area. HMS Astute grounded a couple of miles from my home in 2011.
They eating good
Them some chubby sailors lmao
They say on average sailors gain 8-10 after a deployment cuz of the tight spaces and isolation
Yeah we do 😂
@@OOFMANIA me too brother...
Do they even have to make weight? Or PT lol.
@@SnarkyMcSnarkles 1 treadmill, 2 exercise bikes, and 1 rowing machine. That is the maximum cardio equipment I have had on a boat. Usually it was one of each and it isn't uncommon to be down to 2 pieces of cardio gear total.
That being said, I have seen some guys go crazy with free weight workouts.
Those cooks are motivated!!! It’s good to see them taking pride in putting good chow out.
Its wild that folks are baking chocolate chip cookies under the ocean
In a classified location
Watching these videos makes me really miss the Navy and the friends I left behind. FC1(SW) 2010-2016
It's always interesting to see different kitchen set ups when the armed forces are away from base.
26k a year for this? Jeesh.... that is comparable to minimal wage with the hours they put in.
That's a full-time minimum wage employee, but I find the benefits more appealing when you're serving in the military compared to being a civilian where the benefits are complete shit and you're better off using government programs just to get anything close to decent.
08:39 that was actually so cute omg the way he smiled
I wouldn't get out of bed for 26k a year, let alone work in a submarine
And his voice is lame too…
This is why you need to thank folks for their SERVICE to their country. Not their job. God Bless the USA!
Yes, theyre not doing this only for the money. That doesnt mean they don't deserve a raise though.
What expenses do they have? i wouldnt mind having 26k saved up a year. plus don't they get perks later like a housing allowance? My brother in law was a disney world costume character and he joined the Army and became a SF medic, he's a physicians assistant now and has a huge house, 7 kids, lives a great life.
26k is just base pay for a lowly enlisted. Most of them also get BAH, which is tax free housing allowance. In San Diego, its around 4,000$ a month.
My son is a CSS (culinary specialist, submarine). I have never been aboard his sub, and spent my time in the AF. This video told me more about what my son does than he ever has.
The pay for a young enlisted sailor is crap. That said, I do believe a decent cost of living increase was finally approved for the junior enlisted ranks.
As an officer we made money hand over fist /s 😮
Respect for all who serve, much respect for anyone who can live underwater for months at a time.
Not sure the next time you’ll see RUclips, but if you ever come across this son; know that your dad is proud of all you do. Hooyah submariners!
Btw, did anyone else notice the bright red boxes stenciled with SCBA?
How would you like to work in a kitchen where self-contained breathing apparatus is standard equipment? You can’t walk out if you start a grease fire.
It’s not underwater breathing apparatus because at the depth these run SCUBA gear isn’t gonna help you.
14% this last go round IIRC
Thank you for saying his Dad is proud of him. CSS Whitson is my son & my husband (his Dad) died 3 years ago. We have always been super proud of him & his commitment to "doing any job well" work ethic. 💜
@@kathiecrazycatlady9368 my condolences for your loss. Pass along my thanks to your son. Thank you for your support of your son.
My dad is retired US Navy and I’d often attend picnics with him and his fellow retirees. There were several retired Navy cooks who could make a seriously delicious BBQ meal.
Ah yes, NOW, I can eat my lunch
I'm fascinated by videos like this (mass produced food). The logistics are staggering and for this one...on a submarine!
Those steak and egg burritos look incredible
15 lbs of turkey and 10 lbs of ham split between 150 sailers is 1.6 ounces of turkey and 1 ounce of ham each. Boy are we just spoiling our soldiers rotten! 🙄
This guy is an amazing cook and serves it with special attention. He understands that the special attention while serving is an important part of the enjoyment. This guy is great at his job. 26K per month would be appropriate.
It's 2am, I should go to bed, but then this video pops up on my feed. Loved it!
Im a chef so i totally repaect these chefs but i love how harcore they make it sound while chef was making cookies 😂😂
I don't know why, but I always watch any and all cooking videos like this one.
Is it just me or the narrator’s voice is a little hard on the ears
Bless that man’s soul
26k a year is honestly unhealthy. What if they have to support family at home??
12h on 12h off, brutal
@ that’s the easy part 🤣
if they have dependents then theyll get dependent pay or otherwise known as BAH
it all really depends on your rank, if you’re e1, e2, e5 ect
Military pay is different. You get a base pay plus additional amounts of money for food, housing and even clothing. Also you get your (health care/insurance, etc..) benefits paid for 100%.
The cook was in my grade! Good for you, Wes!
10:25 ummm what is that guys name on his patch?
I spent 12 years on submarines as an MT, best food ever! Never went hungry, on one boat night baker was from Philly from a family of bakers, the smell of fresh bear claws, meats, 4 egg omelets lol, we ate all the eggs quick, then it was powder time.
Everyone that has served in any military ever has stories about the food. From the brand new person to the oldest person. But being on a submarine? Like my bil, no thanks. All military cooks are heroes. Every single one of them!
For those that don't know, the US Navy has some of the best cooks (This doesn't mean they're amazing... just the best compared to all other branches.). But on top of that sub cooks are the best cooks in the navy. If you're on a sub with a bad cook... that cook doesn't last long.
The US marines cant afford to give their chefs/culinary experts more than 26,000 a year?
Apparently not, because this country seems to think it is more important to allow GREEDY military contractors to make HUGE profits than to pay the men and women who do the hard work. It's quite shameful when you think about it.
@@richardneilan2392 not true. Contractors make regular margins seen in the civilian world. It's the stringent requirements that shoots up the cost. Think of the cost of a person taking a private flight instead of a flight shared with 100 other people, that's the military. Don't believe me? The military has a 26 page document on their version of a brownie recipe.
We aren't Marines, we are Submariners. That being said, 26k is just base pay for the most junior ranks. These guys are also collecting submarine pay, sea pay, basic allowance for subsistence (BAS), and the ones who aren't provided a free room in the barracks get basic allowance for housing (BAH).
Those vary based on time of service and rank and BAH also can go up if you have dependents, so if they are collecting all allowances, they are probably in the $50-60k plus depending on location (with BAS and BAH tax free).
@@fastdolphin do not need a "barracks" if assigned to a sub you have a rack
@@michaelkendall662 a rack on an in port submarine is considered substandard living conditions. The duty section will sleep onboard (once every 3-4 days for the average Sailor) but unless they are on duty or restricted as punishment, they live in the barracks or out in town.
I was army. Our cooks hated being cooks so the food was always shit 😂 never thought I’d be jealous of the navy
I had an ex-ComSgtMajor as a supervisor at a mine I worked at who said in the Army if you could do NO other job they made you a cook....he also said "Never trust a skinny cook!"
That one man’s last name being LeBron is wild I thought he was trolling at first
He’s a good dude, grew up with him
@ seems like it! That is pretty cool !
A coworker who was a former submariner said that the sub galley food was endless and wonderful.
26k usd is terrible pay
9 months not spending any money that’s a lot of savings after doing 4 year minimum service
I'm sure the new administration will increase the pay.

Its sad that our military gets such low pay. Without them, our America would be sunk.
My all time favorite time onboard the ship i was on was working in the galley. I was over the desert and beverage isle. They loved how creative i got.
3:13 "This is a food preparation worksheet, in laymen's terms it's a menu."
'Food preparation worksheet' isn't exactly technical jargon lol.
Navy chef is the hardest course in the navy - no one has ever passed 🙃🙂
I thought sea men sustain with semen
i can't with this guy trying to make this sound epic
When I was serving on a ship, I always made the effort to thank the cooks.
Most important job in any military. No joke. Nothing else happens if people aren't fed and moral drops sharply if they aren't fed well.
That food looks SO good! All the men look very fit. If I ate that much food everyday I wouldn't be able to get around the sub. I don't see how they stay in shape - too much temptation. Yum!
Glory to the U.S. NAVY
