y SUPPLY DEPARTMENT The Supply Department is the organization that pays the crew, feeds the crew, maintains all electronic spares as well as general stores. Anything that the ship needs for its upkeep and operation comes through the supply department. It is the job of the supply officer to make sure that all material necessary for the operation of the ship is on board. He also serves as the paymaster, a man which the whole crew is glad to see sitting in the mess decks around the first and fifteenth of each month. Navy chow is compliments of the Commissaryman. He is responsible for meat cutting, baking, and the preparation and cooking of all the food for the crew. The Hospitalman is the ship's HDOCN. One of the most valuable men on board the Chief HM is directly responsible for the health and cleanli- ness of the crew. It is also his responsibility to ensure that the galley and other living spaces are in the best of shape health-wise. The Ship's Serviceman has a major role in the operation of the ship. He is the man who provides clean clothes via the laundry, haircuts via the barber, and operates the ship's store. The ship's store sells anything from movie equipment and jewelry to razor blades and shaving cream. The Disbursing clerk is the man who keeps your pay record up to dated. He is a man of exact figures, deciding on how much money you'll receive from the paymaster. The Storekeeper is the man who is always surrounded by requisitions and receipts. He makes sure that the Blair's store-rooms are kept supplied with the shipis need. He also has the headache of making sure that the ship's budgets balance.

The steward has the job of performing his duties well so that the Officers may concentrate entirely on the administration of the ship.
