how about a cooking station???

why not have a station where you cook food for your people?

it would be a good idea if there is a gwx 3.0....................

better not, before you know it you have to manage the cooking schedule, for instance, If you serve to many times the same dish your crew will get grumpy until a point they start a mutiny. Or maybe you have to select which crew eats when, this might result in starved crewmembers stuffed in the stern compartment because you forget that they were there. Nah, we have problems enough with the enemy.

"Not enough crew in the diesel engines compartment Herr Kaleun! They are having a hard time on the loo trying to get rid of those old canned sardines you used on today's meal!"...
Or a pop up message saying something like: "The wind is too strong and the boat is swinging too much for the cook to be able to actually cook anything... you should have gotten a microwave with those renown points "

When did the captain ever cook for his crew? I'm sorry, but I find that idea silly at best.

Yes, but then again when did a captain plot courses, man the hydrophones, calculate solutions and shoot down planes?

Ah... what the heck? let im cook for the poor folks. There surely will not be any complaints for the food

As soon as I get radar the crew can start roasting marshmellows if they feel the need.

Must have come as a comfort for the cook to know that if he ever ran low on cooking oil or frying grease there was plenty of both in the room next door. Mmmm. Diesel-fried cooking.

I'm always surprised about the size of that cooking boot. At home I have a kitchen that is twice that size and people who visit me always tell me about my small kitchen. I always tell them that an U-boat kitchen is about half the size of mine and had to cook for about 50 people!! That shuts them up real fast.

Not only that but your kitchen is standing still. The U-Boat's galley was often pitching and heeling depending on the sea state. I wonder how many hands and limbs got scalded or burned that way? :hmm: Yikes!

I even forgot about that!! Those cooks must have been a very special breed. And the crew could better keep him as a friend .

On the subject of galleys, I've always been curious about this. There were four water taps above the galley sink. From left to right in English: Washing water; filtered drinking water; warm salt water; and fresh drinking water.

What was washing water? Water with suds? Or just recycled water for washing purposes?
