Truckloads of supplies were brought aboard until departure time, and the two week crossing was spent stowing supplies. During the cruise over 3,500 issues were made from the eight supply storerooms. Repaii parts carried on board include huge armatures for the anchor windlass and tiny capacitors for the communications equipment. Consumable items varied from swabs and floor wax to pencils and pennants. Our three at sea and one in port replenishments kept the flow of supplies a steady one. SANDOVAL upheld an outstanding repair parts record by supplying many more emergency issues to other Mediterranean based ships than we ourselves required for emerg- ency repairs. The disbursing clerks handled the bill paying for all foreign purchases in addition to their regular functions of handling allotments, pay records and disbursing a total payroll of S752,000.00 during the cruise. Before the first liberty call in each port the DK's exchanged thousands of American dollars into local currency. ff. ,mf f . I I.,

Many orders were placed for goods at foreign prices through this sif, rice of the ship's store. At each port custom made suits, cameras and stereo equipment Was delivered to eager sailors. E The Ship's servicemen also provided many other services to the crew. The barber shop Worked extra hours to get ready for liberty call, the laundry worked around the clock, and the lShip's Store was open evenings to accommodate all shoppers. The supply of American candies and cookies in the Geedunk was supplimented with foreign chocolates and specialties in each port. Our replenish- ments of small store clothing and toiletry items just didn't last long enough! SI-I2 JOHNSON SH3 CROUCH SHSN LASSITER
