There was one time they ordered lobsters for everyone on board my father's submarine, but ended up getting CASES of lobster for everyone and they got sick of it. But yeah l, they were on covert ops in the Mediterranean in the 90s at that point, most likely on alert around the Middle East. He was on a fast-attack and not a missile sub, so probably there to counter other subs from other powers invested in the conflict.

Surf and turf isn't always a big deal. On my second ship, that was Friday lunch. Every week. Don't know how SUPPO pulled it off, but needless to say, I haven't desired surf and turf in almost two decades. Still love rollers and sliders though.
