Video Description

The USS Gerald R. Ford isn't just America's newest and largest aircraft carrier, it's a floating city with a population of 4,500 hungry sailors who require more than 18,000 meals every single day. While fighter jets may dominate the headlines, there's another equally critical battle raging below decks. Between the rumble of the nuclear reactors and the thunder of catapult launches, a specialized team of culinary warriors fights the eternal war against hunger with industrial-sized spatulas and steam. From the massive galleys capable of feeding an entire town to the centuries-old tradition of "cranking" where sailors temporarily rotate into food service, this is the untold story of the true power behind America's maritime might. Join us for 24 hours inside the floating kitchens that keep the world's most advanced warship running on full stomachs.
