The US Navy has denied reports of food shortages on board two major vessels participating in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Yesterday USA Today reported crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were not getting enough to eat.
One photo taken by a Marine showed a mostly empty lunch tray with a single scoop of shredded meat and one tortilla.
To be entirely fair, it seems like they have enough food as in enough calories to feed everybody minimals adequately for the expected duration. What they don’t have is fresh food.
There’s nowhere near 1600 calories on that plate
I didn’t hear anything about that being their only meal for the day.
They don’t even have that.
