LCDR Trawick Supply Officer Some of the services of KLONDIKE ' S Supply Department are: supply the needs of other ships, repair or otherwise; the order and issue of supplies to KLONDIKE itself; the updating of equipment and all parts and necessary machines ; to keep a running inventory of operating funds or how much the ship can spend on supplies in a four- month period; the ordering of supplies that our work requires and a technical library where you can locate or refer to anything that is in the supply system, from nuts to the biggest pieces of machinery in the Navy. These are the assignments and objectives of S-1 Division, It is run by Storekeepers and a main supply officer. S-2 Division, the Commissary Division, is made up of men from various departments and divisions within the ship and, while overseas, sometimes other ship ' s personnel. Five Commissary petty officers operate S-2 with the aid of these men, who all fall under the supervision of two Chief Com- missarymen and the Food Subsistence Officer (also the Public Affairs Officer) . The cooks of KLONDIKE do their jobs with pride, knowing that KLONDIKE is one of the best large mess afloat ships in the First and Seventh Fleets. Proof of this is attested to the fact that KLONDIKE is six times a winner of the Edward Francis Ney Memorial Award as the Best Large Mess Afloat from 1962 to 1967. This award is based upon the finest in food preparation and food service. S-3 Division brings the luxuries of a ship ' s store, a clothing and small store, a soda fountain, a candy vending machine, a barber and tailor shop, a laundry, all operated by KLONDIKE Ship ' s Servicemen. The ship is one of the few operating Navy ship ' s stores afloat which operates as a walk- in facility. S-4 Division means one way to get a reward for work aboard KLONDIKE: Money! Every other Thursday, that is. It is also the place in which crewmembers can make various allot- ments, receive their income tax forms, and cash their checks and money orders that come in the mail from home. The disbursing office also serves to exchange Military Payment Certificates or local money for American greenbacks while overseas. Similar services are made available to other smaller ships who are our customers inport at San Diego or in a foreign port. S-5 Division is made of Stewards who prepare and serve the meals of the day to the officers and Captain of KLONDIKE. These men also serve as maintenance men for the officer ' s state- rooms, making sure that everything is looking prim and neat for the men in charge of the ship. Seven Data Processing and two data systems technicians make up KLONDIKE ' S Automatic Data Processing laboratory in S-6 Division. A special Univac 1500 computer system is used by these technicians to facilitate the processing of the many supply and repair transactions which occur daily. A valuable asset to KLONDIKE ' S mission of repair, the 1500 keeps track of over 76,000 items in storage aboard KLONDIKE. It computes monetary amounts on hand and prints out budget operating targets for KLONDIKE and the customer ships serviced. For the repair department the 1500 computer system records a program of each job order and prints up information of our departments and customer ships. 107
