USS (George) Washington
ABOARD THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (PNA/News Feature) -- Aside from
playing a major role in manning and maintenance of the USS George Washington
(CVN-73), Filipino officers and men serving aboard the giant American carrier
have also brought the unique taste of Filipino food to its mess decks.
Chief Culinary Specialist Ferdinand Delos Santos, in an interview with the
Philippines News Agency, said "abodo", "lumpia", and "pansit" have become a part
of the ship's cuisine and appreciated by majority of the crew.
"Those staples are regular served on board and appreciated not only by
Filipino crewmen but also the American ones," he pointed out.... He added "pandesal" and "sisig" are also served aboard occasionally.
The USS George Washington has a crew of approximately 5,500 of which 800 are
Filipinos or of Philippine-descent....
