SUPPLY DEPARTMENT LTJG Vaughn C. Pier son, USNR Supply Officer The Supply Department is composed of a group of men dedicated to making life on ISBELL a little more pleas- ant. They provide needed services to the whole ship. They cook and serve the food, wash and dry the clothes, cut the hair, pay the crew and sell just about anything you could desire at the ship ' s store. They ensure that we have on board thousands of spare parts, should on -board repair of equipment become necessary. From radio tubes to popcorn and clean whites, the Supply Department makes itself felt throughout the ship. Without their efforts the deployment would not have been as success- ful as it was. i 1 i LTJG Ball Disbursinl SNGeorje 4

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT LT. Ralph W. Hopkins Chief Engineer ISBELL ' s Engineering Department is made up of three hardworking, highly trained divisions, M, B and R Divisions, whose function is to provide the ship with the power necessary to run the many machines throughout the ship. The very propul- sion of the ship is dependent on the constant work of the snipes . They worked around the clock to keep the ship operating, and contributed immensely to the success of our mission.
