SUPPLY DEPARTMENT S-l DIVISION - . LaL+ fflf S-1 DIVISION The Stores Division has two major responsibilities . Maintaining the repair parts and parts and material to keep klo ndike running and shipshape, and stocking the repair parts and material required by the engineering and repair department to complete the myriad of jobs they are given to keepassigned ships in an operational readiness condition at all times . astockofover 50,000 different items must be maintained in order to accomplish this mis- SION. The job of order i ng , receiving , stowing , and issuing this material is a never ending process. The ' ' paperwork ' 1 required in this evolution is voluminous, but a necessary evil to insure that th.e funds allocated to run KLONDIKE and to repair other ships are not ex- ceeded, and to insure that stocks of material and repair parts are adequate and replenished prior to depletion . Despite the fact that so many items are stocked, it occasionally happens that an item is not carried, and is needed for a hot job . the panic button, once pushed, will send storekeepers throughout the area, and somehow the material will be found and obtained , and another customer will leave the klondike with the best availability we ever had.
