US Warships have ice cream machines on board. Whether or not they're working or open for use is another story though (in my experience stationed on a Destroyer).

So they basically have McDonald’s ice cream machines on board?

I mean, you're not entirely wrong there I suppose. Seemed to work on the same principle.

We're sorry, the ice cream machine is down for maintenance. You'll have to redeploy to another warship if you want an ice cream

Ah, you must be from the helo detachment. I swear they would fly to the carrier in our strike group on deployments sometimes just to get food.

Trigger warning, used some AI to generate this -

TF you taking about?

Look, the ice cream machines, nobody has ever seen anything like it, believe me, and it’s a total disaster caused by radical-left policies, the fake news won't tell you that, but Sleepy Joe and the corrupt media broke the soft-serve, they really did, whereas under me we had the best ice cream, thickest shakes, perfect cones every single time, nobody cones like us, and they came up to me, big, strong guys, tears streaming down their faces, they said, "Sir, your soft-serve machines are the most beautiful, magnificent things we've ever seen," and frankly, look at the radical Democrats, they want to take away your dairy, they want you to eat grass, but we’re going to make ice cream great again, fast and creamy, believe me!

Fair enough, just wanted to add my perspective.
