Michael, If you are going to have a UnRep (Underway Replenishment)take place while your on board make up some special dessert to have the send across to the supply ship. When I was onboard my last ship we always tried to "wow" the other ships CO (Commanding Officer) with a great dessert that they would send across. You may also get to see a VertRep (Vertcial Replenishment)take place which is when they sling pallets of supplies/mail and food under helicopters and drop them on your ships flight deck. There are times do to time restraints that they do bothat the same time.

DDG - represents Destroyer, Guided. Michael...if you can, ask the CO to go full-ahead and then do a 'crashback'. Make sure you have your camera with you! Lots of great photo-ops. If you are lucky, you might see an UNREP - that is when the ship is refueled at sea. The ships are no more than 200ft apart. You will then understand the power and beauty of these shiips!

Chef have a great trip on the Farragut, if I remember I think it's a DDG, but I could be wrong. How long will you be with them? Have fun Chef.

Check with the leading CS when you get onboard to see what food items they carry onboard. Keep in mind that refrigerated space is at a premium they don't always have a lot of fresh herbs etc. The CS's are very skilled both in cooking and baking so be ready to answer questions about just about anything. They do attend cooking skill after boot camp to learn the fundamentals. Ask the leading CS on board what areas he/she might want attention given to.

While I think theoretical knowledge is great, I tend to focus on the practical. Show them the right way to do things, and explain why it is the right way.
