I'm sure that this will ruffle some feathers on what Asterix will be providing going forward.

This was already looked at for the Arctic Patrol ships a few years ago. Ultimately it was decided against.

I see how it could work for Asterix, but not AOPS. Fresh veggies or at least fresh herbs would be amazing at sea.

Fresh herbs?

Fresh herbs?

Fresh ain’t the way to go in this instance. They smoke better dry…

A lot more room aboard a ship like Asterix for this sort of thing compared to AOPS.

I would of assumed that was the reason, how much yield etc. Although fresh does last for more than 7 days refrigerated.

We carry 14 days Fresh on the CPFs, I am assuming Asterix would carry more.

If anyone is interested we carry:

14 Days Fresh
14 Days Dairy
30 Days Frozen
30 Days Dry/Flour

After 14 days we we switch to frozen and/or canned veggies and fruit, frozen liquid eggs and UHT milk.

And we can resupply vittles underway by means of RAS, by a heavy jackstay.

On Preserver (I miss her) we used to carry much more than this, We also used to have a refer sea can on one of the waist decks from time to time to resupply the frigates and destroyers as required.
