Reading Gene Fluckey's book, "Thunder Below" about the Barb. He got 20+ cases of beer on board and whenever they were about to engage the enemy, he would have 4 cases put in the cooler for the expected celebrations.
The cooks would also bake cakes whenever they had sinkings to celebrate. Complete with pictures (icing, etc) of the events.
