ENS Lane, Division Officer S-3 SHCS Rhodes SHI Edralin Division Inventory is the word for the day for all the Ship ' s Servicemen. The SH ' s in the Ship ' s Store, Soda Fountain, as well as the laundry, barbershop, and vending machine supply worked constantly to provide the crew with the finest service possible. During the hot, muggy days south of the equator, the crew could go to a vending machine any time, day or night and buy a cold soft drink. The Ship ' s Store provided some of the best selection of items of any store in the fleet. Everything from stereo gear to toothpaste was available. This store was very popular among the tended units and generated over $750,000 worth of business while the ship was deployed. The ships service division laundered and dry cleaned over 63,000 pounds of clothing for the crew, as well as other ships. SHI Frost SHI Trillanes SH2 Bishop SHSN Montoya SHSN Weaver
