102 And a good time was had by all

Page 110 text:

Imagine a restaurant ashore that could serve 10,000 meals a day, and then perhaps you ' ll appreciate the work of the cooks and bakers of LTjg Brennan ' s S-2 Division. Statistics usually prove boring, but in this case, they ' re staggering. Ovens capable of roasting 1200 pounds of meat at a time are in use practically around the clock. Over 3,200 eggs are prepared each morning, and a normal weekly supply of fresh bread would run well over 6,500 loaves. 12,000 cups of coffee can be brewed for one sitting, and in all, 8000 pounds of provisions are consumed each day. Careful planning and supervision go into the preparation of the daily menus, and the proof of the pudding is, as always, in the eating. There is, without a doubt, no other single factor as important as good nourishing food to keep a crew happy and content during long stretches at sea, and S-2 ' s shipping-over meals take second place to none in the fleet.
