Fortunately for me I never had to go down into Ranger's reefers when we were taking on food. (Thanks to the Navy for developing the refrigerated stores ships that brought fresh food out to us.) Every time we took on food stores I was working on the hangar deck, or the flight deck during my first cruise.) I knew some guys who had to stow the food in the reefers. Break out the foul weather gear. But, ours were big enough to almost put Cod into them. Of course, we were serving something like 17,000 meals a day. The galley was open 23 hours a day. Closed from 0100-0200 for cleaning. I have a number of books on WWII submarine warfare. There was a section that dealt with stowing of food. It was an art. Every spare cubic inch on the boat, and there wasn't much, was used to stow food. The cooks had to be careful about how they stowed it, and that includes in the reefers. They couldn't just stow all the steaks first, hamburger next, and so on. If they did, the crew would have the same thing day after day until they had finished what was on top. The cooks actually planned out the meals for the entire deployment before beginning stowing it away.

I remember packing milk onto an freight elevator to strike down to the reefer decks. We packed the elevator to its max capacity ant then sent it down off the aft mess deck level. (On the Ranger in 1979). on the Bainbridge, i stood at the bottom of one of the ladders going down from the main deck, and caught meat boxes all morning and part of the afternoon. There was another ladder going down to the reefer deck itself. Meat boxes are about 50 to 55 pounds each. I was sore afterwards. On a sub like the Cod. the provisions came down vertically and then got passed to the storeroom. The messman in the chill box there had only to lift it through the hatch and onto the deck. You can see some of the ways they prevented the frozen meat from shifting underway. And there were no bottles of Freon and other gas cylinders littering the inside of the freezer.

This was done every month to six weeks as I remember and was quite a job. In WWII I guess the relief crew had this task, but by then most of the frozen items had probably been depleted.

Another tidbit from the last war patrol, in 1945, of the USS Finback, SS230, courtesy of my dad, a quartermaster. Finback was in stormy weather for a week, and they hadn't been able to get a star sight. So they didn't know exactly where they were. When the sky cleared, Finback found herself way too close to the mouth of the Yangtze river. She was spotted, and depth charged throughly. The depth charging drove her into the mud. She freed herself, the captain said, "Knock the governors off and let's go!" So they did. Eluded the sub chasers, repaired their damage, checked in at Guam (Have to verify the sequence of events here; not sure about this). Some hidden damage to the refrigerators from the depth charging revealed itself as Finback made for Midway. The crew took rotting meat out, and went fishing. They caught a few sharks. They were already low on food, and for the last ten days they ate nothing but canned fruit and baked shark. My dad could never look canned fruit in the eye again.
