Ship ' s Services LT Jon Steen Disbursing Officer The SH ' s of S-3 Division provide the crew with essential services for their morale and welfare. The SH ' s manage the ships store, laundry, bar- bershop and soda vending machines. During the deployment approx. 20,000 cans of soda were sold and the ships store did approx. $150,000 in sales. All profits were turned over to MWR for use on projects that benefit the crew. The laun- dry and barbershop provide the crew with outlets to keep their appearance in Tip Top shape.
