SUPPLY DEPARTMENT It was the responsibility of Supply to provide the various departments and other ships with the material required in accomplishment of their functions. Subsist- ing and paying personnel, maintaining prescribed records and rendering pertinent reports and returns were other momentous tasks. In addition to the above, port service bills, support of the Service Force Sixth Fleet with every- thing from a floating commissary to a package store, was an extra burden which was handled by Supply Department. Lieutenant Commander Comstock was in charge of this large group until shortly before departure for the States, when he became ill and was transferred to a hospital. The personnel of the Supply Department wish to extend a Well Done and hearty thanks to the men of other departments that assisted in the handling of the several hundred tons of material received during the cruise.

CW02 H. L. OWENS Ships Store Off. S-2 DIVISION Laundry, dry cleaning, shoe repair, tailoring, small stores and ship ' s store make up the phases of the work handled by the Ship ' s Servicemen. These are services which many of us tend to over- look or take for granted, but certainly could not do without. During the summer months, when tne uniform of the day is whites, the laundry ' s work schedule is more than doubled. To top it off the Cans along- side were using our facilities. A clean uniform per man, per day, is quite a job. Foreign goods was in demand during our cruise. The ship ' s store both carried many of the items and invited many of the local quality mer- chants aboard to display their wares. Much of the credit for our high rating in the E competition, belongs to the S-2 Division. Bock Row: Griffin, Lorson, Linton, Morris, Hunt, Redd Third Row: Dios, Monteleone, Harris, Dominque, Keyek, Boker Second Row: Aguon, Wheelhouse, Fuller, Blackburn, Smith First Row: Hurst, Moore, Lodwick, Roeding.
