Fixin' salad

Strickly speaking, Seaman Mumphrey is preparing salad in the galley, not the mess decks. The mess decks is the naval term for the ship's enlisted dining room.

ARABIAN SEA (Oct. 12, 2010) -- Culinary Specialist Seaman Christine Mumphrey, from Phoenix, Ariz., prepares lettuce for the salad bar on the mess decks aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group is deployed supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
