On the mess decks the MS's will serve up to 750 meals a day, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as mid-rats served at night for the watch standers. A night baker prepares breads, pies, cakes and cookies and there is always a salad bar stocked with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
