The mess gear consisted of individual mess kits for the enlisted men, and a fairly elaborate outfit of silver, glass chinaware and table linen for the officers. In this latter category no surrendered vessel had a complete set of Navy equipment, for the missing items were eked out by using items salvaged from hotels, restaurants, or other sources.

Mess gear locker, with fitted stacks and fiddle board, was provided in the wardroom.

Mess tables, while shown on plans, were not available to non-rated men on surrendered vessels at Portsmouth.

The crew's messing facilities appear to be primitive if, in fact,it was not the custom to provide the mess tables and benches which are shown tin the torpedo rooms on the general arrangement plans. Some did and some did not.
