Supply Department The function of the Supply Department is to feed, clothe, provision, pay and support the nearly 300 personnel aboard the GEORGETOWN. To accomplish this there are three galleys which pre- pare over 300, 000 meals a year. When the G EO RG E T O W N puts to sea, there is enough food to last for 150 days without replenishing. The GEORGETOWN has its own machines to make both ice creann and soft ice creann. The crew ' s berthing area is provided with m o da r n NORTHAMPTON-type bunks. Each man has his own locker and bunk light. The well equipped laundry has four presses, compared to the one usually provided on a destroyer. Eight hundred pounds of laundry is done each day on the GEORGETOWN. The Supply Department also manages the barber shop, soda countain and ship ' s store, which does $100, 000 a ye ar business, the profits of which go to p r o vide recreational facilities for the LTJG.
