Naval food, comfort, and national catering traditions

Which ships are the coziest to serve aboard, taking coziness to mean good food and comfort?

Italian ships are the preferred choice here for food and comfort; the discussion also compares Danish accommodation and several national naval food traditions.

For food and comfort, Alex Clarke favours Italian ships and rations, including their pasta, meat, and rehydrated meals. Danish warships are also described as comfortable, although his food preference remains Italian. The Royal Navy receives a favourable comparison for curry within NATO, with Japan then singled out beyond NATO. Australian submarine barbecues provide another example of national food traditions at sea, and the move to nuclear boats raises a practical question about how to continue that custom.
