Joseph the only place that I think I would start would be with Kenorian. He is a member here and his son has been on a Sub for a couple of years now. I hear the culinary is a great rate and being on a Sub has a list of benefits.
1. They are in much tighter conditions - This means the enlisted men and officers are much closer and communicate much more because of this.
2. You advance faster by serving on a Sub.
3. Their are less than 200 men on a sub - unlike 5,500 on the ship my son is on. This will make the good deeds your son does not go un-noticed.
I hope this helps a little and like I said drop Kenorian a line about what your looking for on his page.

There is only one galley on the subs. Your son will be cooking for the officers as well as the enlisted.

Sorry I just saw that you had asked another question. The sub service has a reputation for some good food. This however depends on several things. The cook for one and the food supply it self. We used up the fresh stuff first and went on to the canned goods. I was on a diesel boat. We did not have the storage of today's nukes. We would store extra canned goods on the floors and walked on them till we ate them.
A cook on a sub would be the main cook, the desert chef, and the baker. Duty was more varied. The quarters are tighter.
