S-2 DIVISION The S-2 Division is composed of the ship ' s service group and the stewards group. Ship ' s service handles the ship ' s store and related facilities - the gedunk stand, the laundry, and the barber, tailor, and cobbler shops. In the race for popularity, the soda fountain and ship ' s store are on the top of the Ust, with the gedunk in the lead when cold cokes and ice cream are on sale. The soda fountain keeps stomachs and ner es under control with a wide variety of candy and cigarettes. The ship ' s store stocks many foreign products, cameras, and accessories, every perfume imaginable, and numerous other gift items - all this, and your toothpaste, too. The tailor shop offers one-day service on minor alterations and pressing. The barber shops - both oflBcers ' and crew ' s - offer nice, comfortable, regulation haircuts. The cobbler shop can keep all hands well shod for many a day. The laundry faces a tremendous job in keeping 1500 men inspection-proof, but by working round-the-clock, they stay abreast of their work. To the seldom mentioned storeroom personnel falls the job of receiving, sorting, distributing, and stowing all items sold or used by the various activities. The ship ' s store office hands keep record of all orders, bills, inven- tories, transfers, etc., for the ship ' s service group. In the stewards group, we have the officer ' s cooks and bakers, and the wardroom boys. This group is very essential to the officers ' well-being. Operating their own galleys and the wardroom, the stewards do a fine job of keeping officers ' country shipshape. In the Supply Department, the word is Service to the service- - may we help you ? '

FOURTH DIVISION The gunner ' s mates of our batteries and boatswain ' s mates of the deck and lower deck take pride in their work - different though it is - and succeed in making the Fourth Division a cohesive, smooth- running outfit. Raised and lowered, and kept in top shape at all times by our division, the port motor whaleboat is ready to answer any call. No wonder it was the guinea pig used to instruct officers in the motor whale-boat. When the loudspeaker system blares out with The officer of the deck is shifting his watch to the quarterdeck, the men snap to in getting the port accommodation ladder low- ered and ready so that the JOOD can shove off those first runs to the beach. The port quarterdeck is our responsibility as well, and many a JOOD has had to flee to safety on the landing of the ladder when the morning swab-down gets rolling. To round things out, the Fourth gives a hand in fueling operations too. The gunners keep the mounts in fighting shape, and the only blasts that come their way are those they make themselves during firing practice. An athletic-minded division, the Fourth fields a basketball, Softball, and touch foot- ball team.
