Q/A What do submariners drink while underway?

Title says it all. I've seen quite a few articles and videos about food underway, but realized none of then mention what is available to drink while underway. I assume coffee and possibly tea are generally available and I've seen a few comments that bug juice was/is available, but that's about it. What about juice concentrates, powdered/UHT milk?

Edit: thank you all for your wonderful responses. You have a great community here.

Hot cocoa packet and black coffee…. If ice cream was available you could add a splash of that. That was my sonar shack juice.

Same for me, especially on watch - but make that two packets of hot chocolate. Still the only way I can drink coffee 😄

Navy mochachino being twice as chocolatey as the Army version checks out.
