Life aboard Pre-Commissioning Unit Colorado (SSN 788) Underway (1) 

As an old Army cook, I watch this and wish I were young again, join the Navy, and be a part of this culinary crew! Hats off to the men and women of the U.S. armed forces!

Cooks are always under appreciated until you had a hard long day. Thank you for feeding our sailors.

The food looks great , these guys can cook for me anytime - God bless em , they work hard , huge amounts of ingredients completely boggle me .

Wow, That Galley has a lot more room then I had on a 688 class. Good job, whoever designed it.

Napkin guy needs leave.

That has to be the dullest knife I've ever seen.

2:21 brother on the left just staring at the chicken. 😂

Daddy served on the USS Colorado battleship in WWII. He said that when he got to Basic in San Diego, it was the first time he had not been hungry - the food was good and plentiful. He and his friends were children of the Great Depression and when he joined the Navy at age 16 (with permission from his Mom) he had never known how it felt to get enough to eat.

Thank u for sharing his lifestyle with me. He really likes his career

I toured her yesterday I was looking for a particular 688 because I was going to that boat but there were none in port but a second class was on one recently and he did a great job explaining the differences between the two and I’m honestly less nervous about getting a fast attack

During a tiger cruise on board the USS ENTERPRISE I watch a civilian ask a CS if they had butter for the rolls. The CS had this confused look on his face because the civilian thought she was at a restaurant. I nearly pissed myself. 🤣🤣

PROUD of all of you guys... Eat Strong... Stay Strong... USA baby

I live in Colorado. i'm in the enlistment process!

Chopping tip. Next time you dice up peppers, flip them inside up so the blade grips the meat.

This gave me flash backs from mess cranking.

I hope the cooks are pre-commissioning too?

All of these things are happening under the sea 😍 that's impresssive

"I'm not recording audio" ... I hEaR yOu!

Until you have served on a submarine you will never experience the true meaning off team work and camaraderie I did 14 years on British boats

May I thank every soldier on this ship? For your service, your sacrifice. WE support our military personnel in this country.

The mess is larger than my old submarine: Klasse 206 U13.

Finally, after all of the food panorama shots we get to see a courageous lookout in a pumpkin suit executing his duties. You cannot safely navigate a submarine with so many loose bananas on the mess deck. Carry on Squids!

I was a cook in prison. I worked my way up from being the dishwasher/postman because inmates would put requests in the dirty food trays hidden under the lousy food. Depending on what CO was working, a normal response was two meals away.

Good to hear Plini playing onboard :)

Good bless them

Its a known fact that submarines have the best chow in the navy and their cooks are the best in the navy

my boy strugglin to get that matilda cake 4:25

I was pre-comm crew on board Harry S Truman, and later, plankowner. Shipyards are loud, dirty, smelly, dangerous, uncomfortable industrial hell-holes. Proud to have been pre-comm. Wouldn't want to do it again.

I haven’t eat this good since I was in the Navy❤😊

How do fruits and veggies stay fresh during extended deployments?

I would like to know , in the end of this video , there Is and officer in the , well mau I say small cabin with some panel and electronic panel When this submarine under water , does the cabin covered with something ? I mean waterproof ? For the instrumen ?

This was a NEW submarine? That grill looks like it was salvaged from the Andrea Doria. That knife is DULL If these are real US Navy Food Specialists, they need a ton of training.

How fast the ship moving when in surface like that, i mean at the end of this video? Thanks for the answer

I joined in 89 to be a gas turbine mechanic and lost my A school right out of boot camp. They gave me a dream sheet to pick three other ratings and they made me a mess specialist. Not any of my picks, if they hadn't screwed me over i would've stayed but i got a Jag lawyer to get me an entry level separation. Some people get screwed and don't get to be what they enlisted for. I just wish it wasn't me.

Those Navy cooks look highly motivated. Never had Navy chow I heard submariners get the best chow in the Navy since they have to go dark often but the food slowly suffers a bit in quality as the fresh food is used until replenishment, which makes perfect sense I loved Army chow It’s not like the old days where the food was crapola Nothing beats Army breakfast too Omelets, hash browns, grits, sausages, pancakes, toast, oatmeal, fruit You get spoiled a bit for the all the field exercises and deployments. It’s insane to think when we were younger in the Army and probably chowing like 5,000-6,000 calories

I was not a bubble head, what do they do with electronics on the conning tower when they submerge?

They have everything actually. It’s nice.

Good content Q food reviews god bless

U.S soldier even Submarine crew eat fresh food Damn They are real Roman legion

That food looks so much better than the crap I eat every day :D

สุดยอดเลย!!!

How many designated cooks would be on a sub?

I like respect, good food and ocean view... L.B.

not to nick pit but wouldn't they be commissioned BEFORE going to sea?

Are there no Chief's mess on Subs (9:27)???

Do the "Pre-Commissioning Unit" sailors have a regular naval assignment or is this all they do?

Need to clean that grill

Cut bell pepper from inside out with a sharper knife

Trying to get into the navy as a MC right now actually

You know you are in a heavy duty kitchen when there is a nuclear warning sign for a reason. :D

On my ship, we wear gloves when preparing any kind of food. Where are yours?

food on surface ships is several steps below a tv dinner - only your recruiter will say otherwise

Where are the gloves for servers and cooks ?

shouldnt gloves be worn while handling food?

Impressive.

It doesn't look very delicious, but it will give crews strength to work in limited space...

I served time on the USS Curts 86 90 I cannot think what being in a steele tube would be like

I love Navy chow , it don't get better than that Mmm Mmm Mmm 😋

wheres the gloves dude

What were YOU doing @ 19?

I need to find someone who looks at me the way that one man looks at that chicken.

No adobo & tocino ?

i love how all the sailors go for the chocolate cake and forget the fruit

Chefs hard at work cooking the meals.

My nephews son is on the Colorado for 6 months while the IDAHO is finishing its completion. I am guessing he will be working on his Dolphins he is Nuke and will be a plank owner on the IDAHO. At least he will not get sea sick.

Does pps go on a ship as a CHEF? OR does everyone rotate??

Why the frying is of teppanyaki style? Isn't a wok easier to get food cooked?

Is this Virginia class ?

Getting ready for the Burger King hat.

awesome that theyre listening to plini

Why they all working in slow motion?

2:20 homeboy is making me anxious.

8:33 got'em. FSAs forgot to restock the napkins.

Gloves r a must in the kitchen cross contamination looks out of hand

Glad these fellas weren't crankin' on my boat! This is an official Navy video?? They belong in the surface fleet.

that chicken looked awesome at the beginning

That griddle looks like it was salvaged from the Titanic. Needs a good cleaning. And this is a brand-new sub?

ของดีอุปกรณ์ระดับโรงแรม

Listening to plini

Nothing better than cooking on a flat top.

Mess molly, reminds me of being an ordinary seaman again.

Lol they was jamming out at 4:00 😂😂😂

So far as the kitchen is concerned... this is pre-commissioning, germs know to stay out until the boat is fully commissioned 🙃

No gloves for food prep! CPOs not served meals family style?

their menu is really tasty.. ..😁😁

Is it a cook thing...why is the guy placing the chicken on the griddle using only one hand?

might want to pick up the pace there cookie

Seriously, how big are these subs inside??? I know she's 377′ long! The mess area looks bigger than a Burger King kitchen! Where do they store ALL that food? It never really occurred to me until we boarded a GATO Class sub how much the submarine has really progressed besides of course the nuclear propulsion. Now I hear the possibility of going hydrogen powered? If we only had food replicators. GO NAVY!!! GO "SILENT SERVICE"!!!

I’m on this Boat now

However, the military waist circumference standards are fairly tight. While all these videos show cakes and gravies and food, it is hard to eat that stuff and stay in the Navy, especially with the limited space for exercise. Better to have salads and fresh vegetables rather than breads and cheese sauce and butter added to everything.

He can’t put chicken on the grill with both hands? Why one hand behind back?

Someone needs lessons on how to sharpen a chef's knife! Dull knife...lose a finger!

u burning that chicken son!!!

Chilli dogs on a submarine? Talk about a Dutch oven . . .

I want a military cookbook

电影都是222，看了电影能正确理解223能做到是224做的更好是235

Are these cooks, etc. Navy personnel or are they civilians from a food preparation company? And yes, those knives are either dull or just plain terrible. And yes, anyone who handles raw meat should be wearing gloves.

10:36 Тот самый глоток свежего воздуха )))

For the life of me what makes a person want to be crewed on a SUB.? Well I know they get hazardous duty pay even not in war time.

That man with the knife is being entirely too loud. Someone else could hear that.
