When the Word is passed All hands lay aft to handle stores, it signifies that the Supply Department has brought home the bacon. lt is the job of Supply to procure the many, varied materials needed to run the ship, feed and pay the personnel, operate the Ship's Store, and provide laundry and barber service. The commissary section must dodge flying pans and u- tensils While turning out the chow. The Ship's Store tries to undersell the retailers and keep geedunk on the shelves.
