- DIVI I0 I-IE S-2 DIVISION of the Supply Department is a large and im- portant part of the ship's organization. Under the guidance of Lt. C. W. Ireland, assisted by CHPCLK A. F. Allen, USN, the S-2 men comprising the division perform the tasks of dishing out those juicy steaks which plays an important part in maintaining the high morale of the men on the USS CORAL SEA. It is divided into four sections briefly described as follows: The preparation section is headed by Chief Commissaryman, J. R. Leach and is directly responsible for food preparation. He is ably assisted by Chief Commissaryman, W. C. Aldrich, better known as Cigar or Eagle Eye . If you eat in the Forward Messing Spaces Aldrich is sure to scrutinize your ration to see that it is palatable and wholesome. The Chief Commissaryman are assisted by the Galley, Bake shop, and Butcher Shop Watch Captains. These are namely: Canary Riter, CS1g Nations, CSI, Wright, CSI, Ketz, CSI, Townsend, C813 Martinelli, CS2g Sires, CS2g Fochler, CS2g Dicks, CS5g and Irish Morello, CS5. Don't ask them for any- thing, they've never been hungry since they started striking. In case anyone is wondering, Krajkoski, SN, is assigned to the After Butcher Shop in addition to being First Mare on Commander Stanley's, USS CORAL SEA JR. The Serving Section is headed by the BMC Cassell, and BTI Ryan. This section is directly responsible to insure that your messing facilities and spaces are clean and sanitary. They are assisted by numerous Mess Deck MAA'S who see that the job is well done. Don't try to drag the chow lines on them. The latest in the serving section is the Cream Dispenser but something pretty hush-hush is in the making at present. We expect the crew will eat on board, in preference to at home, on our return to the U.S. The stores Section is headed by Chief Commissaryman, Bennett. He is responsible that plenty of provisions are on hand for the preparation of these good wholesome meals we've been consuming in the past. Donit be too disgusted over provisioning ship days, there's a reason. Bennetts phone number under way is 285. He is assisted by Nelson, CSI, O'Conner, CSI, Barron, CSE, Bones McCann, SN, Bruen, CS2, and Speed Blandford, SN. The Records Section is headed by Bretz, CSI. He is responsible for all records of provisions received and expended. See him about that missing Coffee Mess chit. He is assisted by Richmond, SN. , .l.- First row: E. E. Fisher, Lt. C. W.
