Although the helo is too large to land on the flight deck itself, it can hover overhead and then lower the supplies to the deck below. At left, a working party passes boxes of supplies from the flight deck to the mess decks via the starboard side of the 01 level and the main deck. The ship is anchored in Au- gusta Bay, Sicily for battlegroup turnover. Bowenlife 37

Working parties are gener- ally called away when a large quantity of stores must be loaded onto the ship. De- pending on the size of the working party, divisions are required to provide a certain number of people to assist. Occasionally, a working party may require the partici- pation of all crew members below a certain paygrade. One of the largest working parties mustered during the Mediterranean cruise occur- ed in mid-October when the ship was anchored in Augus- ta Bay, Sicily for battlegroup turnover. An E-5 and below working party was called away to move stores, deliv- ered by a CH-46 helicopter, from the flight deck to the mess decks and then into the ship ' s storerooms. Because of the enorfT:ous volume of supplies loaded onto the ship that day, only small onloads, mostly fresh foods, were required during the remaining month of the deployment. i t i •«» t. 36 Bowenlife
