Steel beach picnic

US Navy barbecue on ship deck From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A steel beach picnic or steel beach party is a tradition in the United States Navy. Such events are often department-sponsored barbecues held on the deck of the ship, hence the name "steel beach". They are often held on the flight deck or in a large hangar bay for carriers, much like a day at the beach with volleyball and other sporting events.[1]
