Pizza night at sea

Looking back at my seagoing days in the 1970s, the cooks rarely made fresh pizza dough. Most of our pizzas on the USS Stein (DE-1065) were made using pre-baked pizza shells, either purchased frozen or prepared by the ship's baker.

PACIFIC OCEAN (March 20, 2009) Aerographer's Mate 3rd Class Leah Katz, a member of the 3&2 Association, and Culinary Specialist Seaman Recruit Brandi Porter prepare a pizza aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) for a pizza night sponsored by the 3&2 Association. The 3&2 Association is an organization comprised of 3rd and 2nd class petty officers that strive to make a positive impact on the crew by holding events like pizza night. Ronald Reagan and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 14 are underway conducting a sustainment exercise in the Pacific Ocean.
