SUPPLY Siiur the MARS is your prototypiail ComhiU Stinrs Ship, it i only fitting {and probably logical as ivell) that its generally most active, most noticeable and most diversified department should be Supply. And for sure there seems to be as many SK ' s and such scrambling around the decks as there are bees buzzing about a honeycomb. But industrious, ever-busy bunch. Among their other duties, they help coordinate UN-REPS; they run the holds: stage the cargo; cook the meals; mind the store; do the laundry; pay the crew (AH AH ' .); maintain pay records (double AH AH!);and run the computers. They do not, however, make honey. 12 SUPPLY
