The US Navy has denied reports of food shortages on board two major vessels participating in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Yesterday USA Today reported crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were not getting enough to eat.
One photo taken by a Marine showed a mostly empty lunch tray with a single scoop of shredded meat and one tortilla.
These seem totally inadequate. According to the Department of Agriculture, a complete meal is supposed to be “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and… one other thing”.
