Canopus (AS 34) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 62 text:

Administration A cruise of 89 days and 10,000 miles takes more than bulkhead- rattling machinery. In fact, without the required documents to prescribe procedures, authorize the allocation of materials, and designate responsibilities, machinery would be of no use to the CANOPUS. The administrative function on CANOPUS covers legal matters, personnel records, religious activities, postal functions, and even ship ' s discipline. As the Executive Officer ' s right hand, the officers and men of the Administrative Department battle daily, pen in hand, against the mountains of paperwork. LEGAL OFFICE The legal office offers legal advice and assist- ance in personal matters, and handles the ship ' s internal disciplinary paper work. CHAPLAIN ' S OFFICE AND LIBRARY CANOPUS ' Chaplain ' s office provides reli- gious inspiration and a source of consulta- tion for all aboard. In addition, it offers in- tellectual stimulation through the ship ' s library. Left to Right: Copenhaver, Travis, Ward, Washington, LCDR Eckles, Olmstead, Teague. MASTER AT ARMS This Police Force main- tains an eternal vigil insur- ing that CAJSrOPUS ' squared away crew stays that way-- halr cut, clean shaven, shoes polished, and everything re- gulation. Left to Right: Teague, Clanton, Hatch, Schoak, Brown.
