Bread at sea

Back in the my day, aircraft carrier bakeries ran two shifts. One 12-hour shift baked all the bread. The second 12-hour shift baked all the pastries.

PACIFIC OCEAN (July 16, 2009) Culinary Specialist Seaman Samantha Garza butters loaves of fresh baked bread in the bakeshop aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). George Washington is participating in Talisman Saber 09, a biennial joint military exercise between the U.S. and Australia focusing on operational and tactical interoperability.
