- 2026-08-16T14:11:41.000Z: An X reply by @aznnorth asserted that the circulated pictures were old, had been proven false, and came from a high-school cafeteria rather than USS Abraham Lincoln.
- 2026-08-16T14:11:41.000Z: The canonical post preserves Krassenstein's statement, the embedded Parnas post, and the August 13 timestamp.
- 2026-08-16T14:11:41.000Z: The canonical reply preserves the high-school-cafeteria rebuttal and its position in the claim thread, but contains no corroborating link.

- 2026-08-16T14:11:41.000Z: Snopes could not authenticate the earlier meal images; the Navy separately denied shortages. The later cafeteria rebuttal is retained only as an unsupported X assertion.
