An In-Port Feeding System for Shipboard Personnel. Volume 1

This report contains a proposed feeding system for large classes of ships that are in-port during Ship Restricted Availability (SRA), Planned Restricted Availability (PRAV) or other overhauls. This system provides for three separate but consolidated foodservice outlets; a full service satellite A- ration outlet, fast-foodservice outlet and a vending machine service. It is envisioned that this in-port feeding system will reduce mess management specialists' labor requirements while in-port as well as improve shipboard overhaul productivity. This Report is volume 1 of a four-volume series. The other titles are volume 2, A Cost Benefit Analysis of the Use of Convenience Foods in a Military Foodservice Operation; volume 3, A Personnel, Equipment, and Facility Evaluation of the Enlisted Dining Facilities at NAS North Island and NAVSTA San Diego; and volume 4, Recommended Quality Control Requirements for a Central Military Food Service System.
