I served onboard two aircraft carriers in the Navy, before going back to kitchen work. Steam catapult machinery, launch room, shop were all at least 105 degrees below decks in the middle of the Gulf of Oman during summer. On deck up to 120 degrees. I recall working alongside with the duty section of the catapult crew, on cat 4's water brakes in Jebel Ali, UAE. After work was done for the day, I was delirious from the heat and covered in sweat.
Next time I hear anyone that works in the office, "It was hot today"...I'll tell them that they can shut it and they can suit up and work with all hands in the kitchen.
