    Military Sealift Command’s hospital ship USNS Comfort was recently recognized for its outstanding food service program as a recipient of the annual Capt. David M. Cook award for food service excellence in the small afloat category for the second time since 2006.

    MSC Atlantic Commodore Captain Janice G. Smith presented the award to the food service team on July 7, 2021. Steward Cook Evon Daley accepted the award on behalf of the team. What a surreal moment; one of the best feelings I’ve had in a very long time, Daley said. “Winning the award during a pandemic is special because we were able to put our own fears aside and come to work every day to ensure a good, well-balanced diet was available to the ship’s entire crew; so that, they could maintain a strong immune system – An accomplishment we did as a team, and I could not be more proud of my teammates.”
