SUPPLY nI:PAn'rM1:N'r The Supply Department is the logistics and morale building department of the ship. They feed us, supply the spare parts and miscellaneous materials necessary for the ship, do our laundry, pay us, give us haircuts, and operate the ship's store. They are composed of the Storekeepers, who handle the Repair Parts for the proper maintenance of the equipment. They are constantly at work issuing repair parts, reordering and keeping up with the vast complexes of Naval Supply. We often are the only ship in the area with the parts needed by other ships, and so they come to us with the thought that if it can,t be found elsewhere the WALKER probably has it. The Ship's Servicemen do the laundry, give haircuts and run the ship's store. The ship's store maintains a limited stock of small stores items along with the daily necessities and a few luxuries. Commissarymen prepare the food and serve it hot and steaming. The menu offers a wide variety of nourishing and delicious food. Working with the Com- missarymen are the Mess Cooks, who clean and sanitize the Mess Decks. Our Disbursing Clerk maintains the pay records and computes our wages. The Stewards care for the ofhcersl staterooms and prepare and serve meals. l Jacobsen R. Von Ness --1-1 STOREKEEPERS Front row: G. Dziodula, R. TU99le l' Bock row: H. Owen, D. Knowles ENS
