NTC at Liberty Station Chow: Feeding a Navy In April 2014 NTC at Liberty Station will be opening Chow: Feeding a Navy, a new exhibition that explores the food that fed our sailor’s and how mess management fed a Navy. Hungry for Navy History NTC was the first training school for Mess Management and the third largest Food Service Division in the US Navy, NTC operated three galleys averaging 6,445,000 meals per year. Graduates of NTC’s Commissary Schools went on to prepare “chow” for thousands of sailors, officers on board ships or shore facilities, and some even baked at the White House. See original recipes, sample menus and learn why NTC was recognized for Outstanding Large Ashore Mess. This is a part of a much larger exhibition. P r e s i d i o t o P a c i f i c Powerhouse: How the Military Shaped San Diego at the San Diego History Center. The exhibition is a 10-museum collaboration documenting the profound impact of the U.S. Military on the growth and development of our region, past, present and future. See this exhibition at NTC at Liberty Station, Building 201, located at 2820 Roosevelt Road, San Diego.
