' Pics of gross Navy food Pete Kegbreath calls "more FAKE NEWS [View all]
It's information that proud parents of U.S. Navy sailors just don't want to hear: their child may be eating lousy food while fighting a war in the Middle East.
Gut-turning pictures of food served to service members on two major U.S. warships fighting the Iran war, shared with USA TODAY by concerned family, prompted an outcry online and outrage among some national leaders. And family and friends of sailors and Marines remain worried that the meals served to their loved ones deployed at sea are not keeping them nourished and well fed.
The Pentagon denies any food issues on ships. But they haven't offered an explanation for the photos and claims of family members, which have prompted at least one U.S. lawmaker to call for a congressional probe.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth called USA TODAY's report "more FAKE NEWS from the Pharisee Press . . . My team confirmed the logistics stats for the Lincoln & Tripoli. Both have 30+ days of Class I supplies (food) on board," he wrote on X.
