Leyte (CV 32) - Naval Cruise Book

DENTAL DEPARTMENT THE Dental Department is one of the smallest units aboard to function as a department. On this cruise our personnel included three dental of- ficers and six dental technicians, who were assigned to D Division. Because our division is small, there is a tendency not to notice us, but sooner or later most of the officers and men of the Leyte have made our acquaintance. Primarily, our functions consist of the control and prevention of dental diseases, and supervision of oral hygiene on board. WIDER, PLEASE!

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT T7WERYONE, sooner or later, comes in contact with the Medical Depart- ment. It was sooner than most desired on this cruise for immediately after the screws began turning, the lines started forming for shots. It ' s the Medical Department ' s duty to keep the officers and men able-bodied. There has been many a long line at sick call and everything from athlete ' s foot to appendicitis has been treated. Although the bunks in the sick bay ward have been filled constantly, the cruise has been a healthv one. Cdr. Lautzenheiser, Senior Medical Officer Sick Bay Medical Department— H Division
