  1. My uni diet occasionally resembled the IJN's diet during World War 2. In that there's a lot of curry.

  2. Donald “Flash” Gordon. Said on Battle 360 that Enterprise ended up piping over 25 Gallons (95 litres) of Ice Cream.

  3. Not to mention the Destoryers spent just as much time haggling with the carriers for Ice Cream as much as protecting them.

  4.  @ramal5708  In Battle 360 (the episode on Midway) Dusty Kleiss said that whenever the Mess was serving Steak and Eggs that it was “a busy day.” While Lloyd Childers a tail gunner for VT-6 (yes the one with the Devastators) said that he heard some joked about it being “Last meal for the condemned men.”

  5. *On 22 June 1944 either USS Patterson (DD-392) or Terry (DD-513) approached USS Enterprise (CV-6) with an important question. "How much Ice Cream was 'Killer' Kane worth?" CDR William R "Killer Kane, was the CO of Enterprise's Air Group 10 and previously the CO and XO of VF-10 "Grim Reapers." As well as part of the Air Group's veteran core from Guadalcanal. So he was worth quite a bit for the destroyer. In exchange for getting Kane back and the crew of Patterson or Terry got 25 Gallons (95 Litres) of Ice Cream. *Had to repost this due to YouTube on my end having a fit and deleted the original comment when i went to edit it.

  6.  @cbbees1468  Depends on the source. If it was USS Terry (DD-513), then yes. If it was USS Patterson (DD-392) a Bagley-Class Destroyer.

  7. Still waiting for the episode he makes Torpedo Juice.

  8. Along with USS Baskin Robbins and HMAS Peters (Australian Ice Cream brand).

  9. 22 June 1944. Enterprise: Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Terry: Hey E. What are you doing? Enterprise: Looking for one of my pilots. Terry: Uhuh. Hey do you mind answering a random question? Enterprise: Don’t really have the time. Terry: Don’t worry it’s a quick one. Enterprise: Fine. Terry: How much Ice Cream is Killer Kane worth? Enterprise: You have him? Terry: Yep and you can have him back after we discuss business. Enterprise: Fine, here’s 10 Gallons of Ice Cream. Terry: No deal. Enterprise: What? Terry: See Kane is an Air Group Commander and an ace fighter pilot. That’s already double the standard rate. Add to the fact that he’s a veteran and from you. Then it ups his price again. Also he was quite banged up when I found him. So I’m thinking you owe me a bit more. Enterprise: 15. Terry: Higher. Enterprise: 20. Terry: Higher still. Enterprise: 25 and that’s my final offer. Terry: Deal. Enterprise: Great. Here you go. Terry: Excellent and here’s Kane back.

  10. Wasn’t there a story of two Lieutenants on New Jersey that tried to barge their way to the front of the Gedunk Bar line. Only to be told to go back to the back of the line by Admiral Halsey.
