No, I dont refer to medium sized rodents, I refer to "Midnight Rations." 1500 might be an overstatement, but a few hundred folks per night on watch, and those on the late maintenance shift in the hangar bay, typically have that chow requirement.

The sailors on duty for the late watch 2000-2400 and the Mid Watch 2400 - 0400, as well as those on the graveyard maintenance shift, are eligible to wander down to the galley or the Dirty Shirt Wardroom under the bow catapaults (for the officers) to wolf down some grub.

For a man with a high metabolism, Mid Rats is a good thing for refuelling after the typical 16-18 hour work day. For normal mortals, Mid Rats is just a way to put on weight while at sea.
