Since before the ship was commissioned the Supply Department has played a major role in the outfitting, stocking, maintenance, and read- iness for operation of the ship. the responsibilities for supplying materials and services are performed by the storekeepers who supply SPARE PARTS, TOOLS, AND MATERIALS. SH 1 PSERVICEM EN OPERATE THE SHIP ' S LAUNDRY, SHIP ' S STORE AND THE BARBER SHOP. THE COM M ISSARYM EN PROVIDE AND PREPARE THE FOOD. DISBURSING CLERKS FIGURE PAY AND ALLOWANCES , THE HOSPITAL CORPSMEN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEALTH OF THE CREW, AND THE Stewards prepare the food for the officers and keep the officers ' quarters shipshape, The Supply Department is very important to the ship ' s operations, you might say, OF WHICH the Storekeeper is the mainstay. And there is the Barber, too,, without whom we would look like daniel boone. There is the Disbursing bloke, WHO keeps us from being broke. Also, the Shipservicemen , who our clothes tries to mend, and has other things to vend, another important man is the comm issaryman , who without a doubt, we couldn ' t do without. Then, too, there are the Stewards, who do their best for the officers ' innards and outwards. Last, but not least, are the Corpsmen, who stick us with needles and stuff us with pills, in an overall effort to cure all our ills, as you all know, it takes all of these, to keep our good ship asailing the seas.
