Royal Navy carrier trials all-day dining for sailors

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 7 Oct, 06:43 · Archive

HMS Queen Elizabeth is testing a new 'all-day dining' system to ensure sailors can eat when their duties allow.

HMS Queen Elizabeth, a 65,000 tonne carrier, is testing a new 'Generational Change to Feeding' programme that introduces all-day dining for sailors. The 'grazing galley' system allows crew members to eat at any time rather than at set mealtimes, aiming to ensure sailors do not miss meals because of demanding work schedules.

The trials represent a significant change to how the Royal Navy feeds its personnel at sea. The new approach aims to accommodate the unpredictable schedules of warship operations, where sailors' duties may prevent them from eating during traditional meal services.
