There's some pretty good video on youtube showing what the galley looks like on a US submarine, and meal prep/cooking for one meal. They fit a lot of stuff in a very tight space. obviously they have an interest in only filming the non-sensitive areas for public relations purposes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWk7oFF1Ku0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWk7oFF1Ku0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-jyzwdmEIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-jyzwdmEIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al7DqK0f8lI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al7DqK0f8lI

I wondered why those Navy videos spend an inordinate amount of time showing how food is made and interviewing the chefs, it makes sense that is the least classified area and they aren't scared of bothering important stuff (not to downplay food).

  Food has been historically one of the submarine fleet's strongest perks for seamen. Considering that it must be quite hard to live underwater for months at a time, with no outside contact with the world, the Navy really likes to play up how well you'll eat on your submerged cramped can.

    Yeah but I'm a (casual) war nerd and I watch a ton of Navy videos, they interview the kitchen staff for a large portion of every warship video, not just submarines.

    This is just propaganda. The food on US submarines isn’t a perk. Eating that food made you want to be home whether you were underway or in port.

The SmarterEveryDay YouTube channel did a slightly more indepth series of videos aboard a nuclear sub, obviously still censored, but educational. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjHf9jaFs8XWoGULb2HQRvhzBclS1yimW https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjHf9jaFs8XWoGULb2HQR... The video on producing oxygen was particularly enlightening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3Ud6mHdhlQ&list=PLjHf9jaFs8XWoGULb2HQRvhzBclS1yimW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3Ud6mHdhlQ&list=PLjHf9jaFs8...
