A friend (and fellow list member, IIRC), sent me the following link last with with a question wondering what the provisioning of a major fleet combatant would be like.

My thoughts would be that the meals would be pre-made, much like a "frozen dinner" or a modern MRE and would be heated in either a microwave, convection oven, or through some other means.  I don't see a galley and mess hall being incorporated into a ship's design when you look solely at the numbers and volume requirement for ship's systems - it would be wasted space that could be better used for fuel, armor, or some other "teeth”.

Well no modern navy does it that way, even on submarines, which are probably closest in operation to Traveller warships that we have. Crew morale alone would be a big factor.
