The link I added states that Black sailors were, in fact, allowed to serve as mess stewards on submarines. That was their official title until 1947. However, anybody who served aboard a submarine had to pass the same qualification tests. Therefore, although officially only in food service work, in practice the Black sailors might perform almost any other duties aboard as well.
