The division is responsible for all the service activities on board, including the Ship's Store, Soda F oun- tain, Laundry, Crews' and Officers' Barber Shops, Cobbler and Tailor Shops, and the operation of the various vending machines. S-3 does things to keep DELTA people happy. We keep a man's clothing clean in our laundry, fix his torn shirts or run-down shoes in the tailor and cobbler shops, sell him a new watch or a tube of toothpaste in the Ship's Store, or cool him off with a can of soda from the Fountain, while he is waiting for that inspection quality .haircut in the Barber Shop. S-3 can truthfully be called,the Laundry and Morale Division of the ship, and the men there all work long and hard hours to help keep the crew supplied with as many comforts as possible for their long time away from home.
