Bremerton (CA 130) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 150 text:

To make life comfortable aboard Bremerton, the service with a smile branch of the Supply department, S-3 Division, maintains a wide variety of convenient facilities. The laundry, under the supervision of Duffy, SHl, requires a high degree of efficiency in order to keep up with the endless avalanche of work Bremerton's large crew keeps accumulating. Hensley, SHT, keeps the uniforms in good repair through the tailor shop. Then there is the barber shop, the cobbler shop, clothing and small stores, special order services, and the ever-popular ship's store and soda fountain. Profits from any of the various operations go into the ship's Welfare Fund, which is for the benefit of the crew. Chief Earl supervises the Division's work, while Gallegos, SH3, keeps up with the myriad of office records. i i i FRONT ROW fleft to righti: Giltner, C. R., Aines, W., Nesheim, W.

s.. 'EL.c,,,. No matter where a ship may go, there is one thing that remains the same: the appetite of a sailor. To S-2 Division goes the task of keeping the crew fed. They meet this challenge and go it one better by not only providing enough food to satisfy, but preparing it of such high quality so that we call it the Navy's finest. Also falling under the Division's responsibility is the procuring, storing, and selling of foodustuffs to the Flag Captain's, Wardroom, and Chief's messes. Under the general supervision of Chief Ross, and thanks to the fine work of commissarymen like Moon, CSI, Brooks, CSI, Boyer, CSI, and Coats CS2, the butcher shop, bakery, refrigerators, vegatable preparation room, and of course the spotlessly clean galley, maintain high standards in the ship FRONT ROW Ileft to rightlz Dearstine, C.

Just as sure as sailors don't forget when it's time to eat, they never fail to show up for payday twice a month. While holding payday may be the outstanding function of the Disbursing Office and S-4 Division, it is far from being its only duty. Under the direction of Chief McGreevy, services such as allotments, travel pay, dependents' travel allowances, the safekeeping of deposits, exchange of currency, and other related financial matters, including the up-to-date maintenance of pay records, are provided by the DKs. All official funds in the ship are kept by the Disbursing Office. LTJG Harpst turned over the duties as Disbursing Officer to ENS Grant in February. Also a part of S-4 division are the Stewards, who, though seldom seen by the rest of the crew, carry on important duties. Under the overall supervision of Chief Bicaldo, the Stewards provide the services necessary in connection with the messing and berthing of members of the private messes, including cooking, serving, and maintaining a high standard of cleanliness in their areas. Chief Balangue directs the Captain's mess, and Rosario, SDl,, cares for the wardroom.
