In Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a space ship’s departure is delayed centuries waiting for a delivery of lemon scented towelettes.
Howmany of these fridges does an aircraft carrier have?

I don't know about theirs but ours have two big walk in coolers both forward and aft plus a walk in freezer both forward and aft. Add to that a couple of smaller walk ins but those are the main ones. In a pinch you can make a walk in refrigerator a freezer but it would be a pain to do. Also on our carriers the walk in refrigerators serve a dual purpose. They also serve as the morgue and I'm not making this up. I was in A-Gang AC&R Shop on a carrier. When someone died at sea in the cooler they went till a fly off could happen. Till then one of us was stationed at the door 24 hours a day to keep the temp steady.

I find this story quite amusing though. Heck we would have never left port LOL.

A few decades ago, a refrigerated space on a US carrier crapped out and the Supply Officer had to survey (throw away) over a million dollars in food.

They're not talking about the freezer chest in your garage or basement.
