Submariners are generally reputed to have the best food in the navy for any navy that has a submarine fleet. Presumably because everything else about being on a submarine is so shitty, it's the least they can do to boost moral.
Apparently this isn't restricted to the modern era either, I've read that the german u-boat fleets of the world wars had the best food in their military too.

German uboat staff were treated like heroes in Germany, but that was partly their success in nearly amputating Britain from her colonies, and partly from boosterism by Admiral Karl Donitz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_D%C3%B6nitz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_D%C3%B6nitz IIRC, he said he'd win against Britain with 300 subs, but initially only got about 100.
