SUPPLY DIVISION Front row, 1. to r. : SANDERSON, ICASIANO, LABRADOR, TRAUTMAN, DISCIPULO, SCROGGINS; Middle row : BAKER, SMITH, KNIGHT, LTJG O ' CALLAHAN, IVY, BRIGGS ; Back row : GALERA, RICCITELLI, GIESE, ADAMS, HENRY, DUNN, NATATA, PA ()LINI, CAVANESS, UHL, HILL, LINHART, WHITE, BARNES, CARTWRIGHT The Supply Department provides all logistic support for the CIMARRON. The Storekeepers order, inaintain and dispense a great variety of provisions, spare parts and consumable items, be it canned salmon, boat rudders or liquid detergent. Ship ' s commissarymen prepare and dispense ovei 1200 meals per year and the quality of their work has a vital influence on the crew ' s morale. The laundry, barber shop and ship ' s store are operated by four ship ' s servicemen whose duties ensure CIMARRON a con- tented crew. Over one quarter million dollars in direct payments to ship ' s personnel is made each year through the disbursing office and is the work of the disbursing clerk, who computes all pay and allowances for CIMARRON ' S officers and enlisted men. And the stewardsmen are entrusted with care of jhe officers, performing their duties with marked competence. Sustaining material readiness is the con- stant challenge of the Supply Department, for only through effective logistics support can the ship perform her duties adequately. 68 da -s to Joe Biff ' s

LTJG GALLAHER Back WILES, RESENDEZ, The A ' gang, with diesels, winches, pumjis and such may at times not look hke much. But when everytliing is going for the w orst. We pull together, though sometimes cursed. And when, with the others, v.e ' ve been put to the test, A Division is always the best! So partly explains the work of A Division, whose job consists mainly of repair and mainte- nance of winches and all diesel engines, the engines in the ship ' s boats, the ever-vital pumps used for a transfer of cargo and the after steering engines equipment. i iiisa C ' it ' here 1 conic!
