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.

        Have you seen milspec “food” before? IIRC, it’s “graded” right above prison quality (which is just above dog food, I believe?).

      Could it be scrapple? It’s definitely some kind of processed meat that’s been fried on the flat top
