      Carrots, I think a plain hamburger patty but it looks more like a child’s science project on mold spores, and what I can only see as part of the insole of a shoe

      Looks like a single slice of roast beef or something, plus bunless hamburger.

        I think the roast beef or something is labeled as ‘gyro meat’ aboard the carriers-experience

          Yeah it’s 100% gyro strips. I’ve had them in gyro kits before. While they have a less saturated color like spam or other processed meats, I think the lighting angle in this picture distorts it a bit.

          They can be really greasy so that’s what the light is reflecting. I dab them with paper towels when I prepare them.

          Normally it’s not served plain, obviously. Usually it’s on a round peta with onion, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber sauce.

          Edit: Here’s an example of what I mean. Sometimes the cheap, hyper-processed stuff doesn’t have the frilled edges that most people would expect from “off the cylinder” gyro meat.

            Possobly a supplier used:

            NBG_01OCT2021.pdf https://share.google/aYTdcIHrVeJ8uB8eW

            Processed ITEM 4 GYRO MEAT, SLICED

            IQF 1/10# Raw Sliced Gyro - Kontos https://share.google/sgeo3F5VQKKWSl1RD

            Hopefully this guy or gal that took the photo had some sauces they smothered on there before eating it. Bringing a few bottles of chicken fil a sauce is always prime.

      Holy crap, they’re actually running out of food on those ships? I didn’t think that was even a possibility wihin the US forces.

        Normally when you start a war there is months of planning and prep to make sure all your troops stay armed, fueled, and fed. You don’t ‘yolo, war tomorrow’ and ship eveyone out.

    A couple of notes:

    This was a picture shared by a Marine aboard a Navy aircraft carrier (USS Abraham Lincoln), not soldiers (that would be the Army, and implies ground troops in my mind.) Second, I asked a friend who served like 10 years in the Navy and he said “oh yeah shit like this is just kinda normal. looks good compared to what we got sometimes!” That said I wouldn’t even feed this to a stray animal.

      I doubted the validity of it but there has been news articles. It’s the sailors on the ships in the Gulf of Oman who are running out of food. They probably had to forego replenishment because of the sheer unpredictability and chaos in their operations caused by the Trump admin’s incompetence.

        Yeah, a good strategic leader of the forces would be looking at supply chains, timing, weather, and more factors than I know about, and all that is ruined by a overriding dough like trump saying full speed ahead, no wait backup, OK now turn broadside for a photo op

          Likely very true.

          I can imagine that the surfacing of these articles will prompt the Executive to blame the Navy, demand a fix and gloat about it when they get replenished and host some big food event event aboard. All while the senior Naval leadership (Aboard) has likely been complaining and signaling about this possibility for awhile now.

          Because many people on-board that vessel have encountered likely the exact situation many times over.
