The USS Tennessee

C.L. "Cubby" Hood was a baker in Uncle Sam's Navy during WWII. While stationed on the battleship, USS Tennessee, in the South Pacific, Cubby's home-style baking reminded the crew of 2500 of everything their mothers would bake -- from bread and rolls to pies and cakes -- and especially his famous cookies.

"Cubby's" cookies were available around the clock, from watch to watch. From the Commander who relished his favorites to every sailor, whether in a gun turret, radio room, sick bay, or just swabbin' the decks, "Cubby's" cookies were a daily staple.

Cubby's daughter, Vikki, is making the cookies today -- from those same recipes her dad used. Those delicious cookies are now available -- order cookies online!
