The Supply Department is diarged with the responsibility ol administra- ting all financial matters concerning appropriated funds, for outfitting the ship, supplying materials and equipment required for the operation of the ship, and for administering most of the service functions of the ship. These service functions include preparation and serving of food, operation of re- tail stores, and operation of a barber shop and laundry. The department is broken down into five groups; stores, commissary, ship ' s service, disbursing, and stewards.
