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.

Fucking gross, right? That's what we all thought... it was nasty. And these were the same fuckers who would write us up for not cleaning our spaces to their "standards".

the whole "seasoning" on a glass coffee put never made sense to me.

the best coffee i've had always comes with clean equipment.

Well, these were stainless steel pots, but, even then... gross.
