	(Narrator) As with all military organizations, there are three distinct societies aboard the Mohawk: enlisted personnel, chief petty officers and officers. Each society has separate living accommodations as well as separate dining rooms. Enlisted ranks eat informally on trays, cafeteria style on the main mess deck.
	(Narrator) Higher up the chain of command, chief petty officers eat on plates, instead of trays. The chiefs have their own dining room and are served by lower ranking enlisted personnel. The food is still the same, but the service and atmosphere are somewhat better.
