WW2 started several years after America ended the Prohibition, and the ice cream barge was commissioned in its later years as the war in the Pacific dragged on. Still, I don’t think the navy was providing alcohol rations, so I imagine it was quite the party atmosphere when the ice cream barge showed up.

Oof, guess my timing was a little off, fair enough. But by this point these were soldiers who grew up with ice cream being the norm.
