LT BECKES-WEAPONS OFFICER PPLY WE PO Newman K. Perry, is adestroyer, and as such, her mission is largely anti-submarine warfare. It is the destroyers and destroyer escorts that run interference in a task group, that sanitize an area before entry, that ensure th er e is no threat from enemy submarines, and, should such a threat become a reality, expedite the removal of the threat. The ASW mis- sion is carried out onboard by the Sonarman, Torpedomen, and ASROC Gunner's Mates. - . . Another facet of Weps is surface gunnery. There are tow five-inch gunmounts on Perry, and the fire control radar to control them, that the Gunner's Mates and Fire Control Technicians have the responsibility of keeping in operation. This affords Perry protection from enemy air and surface action. Thirdly, Bos'ns Mates- -the oldest rate in the Navy- -and Seamen are members of the Weapons Department. ,. - 0 We X V li!

One of the main contributing factors to the morale of serv- icemen everywhere is their food. If the food is bad, morale is low, and conversely, good food can promote good morale. The Commissarymen fcooksj of the ship, therefore, have an im- portant job to fulfill. Similarly, food and supplies have to be provided if the ship is going to be operable. This is the job of the Storekeepers- - ensuring that enough food, spare parts, and supplies are avail- able to the ship. Also part of Supply Division are the men who provide the crew with hair cuts and laundry, and who operate the small but essential ship's store- -the Ship's Servicemen, and the men who take care of the staterooms, and provide food for the officers- - the Stewards. Finally, this department has the responsibility of paying the crew every fifteen days, and this is the job of the Disburs- ing Clerk. Although Supply Department's primary responsibilit is Y support, it plays a large part in fostering good morale for the men of NEWMAN K. PERRY. LTJ G REARDON SUPPLY OFFICER
