How Submarine Chefs Cook 3,000 Meals With a Kitchen Smaller Than a Bedroom
Welcome to Submarine Insider, where we explore the realities of life beneath the ocean. In this video, we take you inside a submarine galley to see how chefs prepare thousands of meals in an extremely small and confined kitchen while operating deep underwater.
Discover how limited space, strict storage planning, and efficient routines allow submarine crews to stay well-fed during long deployments. From ration management to creative cooking methods, every meal is carefully planned to maintain morale and keep the crew mission-ready.

That pizza didn’t look too good. They should get one of those wood fired pizza ovens on board.

How did you get the 3000 meals number in the title? largets submarines in the world like Russia's typhoon class is crewed by only 175 to 200 members and the lar gest US submarines Ohio class typically fields a crew of 150 to 160 even if you count 4 meals a day it barely reaches 800 for the largest operattional submarines in the world.
there are 150 crew on a sub ? that is rediculous.
I have a much bigger kitchen, but when I cool no one else is allowed in the kitchen. Add another and the kitchen is too cramped and I'm not having it. I'm clearly not submarine chef material.
Military folk make it work. whatever the conditions, mission first – people always
you have four prep chefs working, but they said there is no prep space. the narrator has missed something
Serious question: Did the submarine still have the same total weight before and after the ascent?
Пусть в русских столовых поработают
У них много заготовок и полуфабрикатов
salute to the navy , i got new insight today , thx for new culinary advice
Wowza 😮
How do.you f up a pizza sorry maybe I'm wrong but that was the one thing that looked not cooked. 😅
Where are the women 😂😂 or they don't do well under water 😂
Glad they have something really good to enjoy there.
Oat meal cookie is called the Anzac buscuit from WW1 from Aussie mothers sending their sons on the front line cheap buscuits that keep.
I retired from the US NAVY as a Navy Cook & Baker, i could relate with everything you have Narrated. 16 to 18 hours work per day on day off shifts sounds very familiar.
❤❤❤!
Yet another 10 minute video drug out to 16 …. thanks ai
I appreciate the submariners. I was on a frigate. Yeah they eat good for sure. But underway or in Port we could resupply. We ate pretty dang good too. We had a Fillpino cook who would make us Phillipines food his chicken adobo was the best occasionally back when I was in we where awarded best food in the pacific fleet for surface ships.
$3.30 per person per meal damn i worked for a carehome with $2.20per person per meal and it was still expected to be above restaurant quality
Dont submarine sailers gets paid more?
God bless those cooks!❤
No, what is the most impressive thing? Is those men in that box under the water? No sunshine. 4 days hands up, they're all heroes.n So we can go in our kitchens. AndnShe has some good s*** up.I'm glad that they're eating good
