S-6 Division Over 50,000 different items are carried aboard the DIXON to support the ship and tended units. Stock Control has the job of ensuring that the toilet paper, pens, and plywood are aboard, as well as the hundreds of special items required for the various ships we tended. The S-6 financial experts keep mechan- ized control over the ship ' s money and help each department balance its OPTAR log.

S-5 Division Whether called upon to serve a visiting Admiral or dignitary, or meeting the everyday requirements for meals for fifty officers, the S-5 Wardroom Division rises to the task. Two messes are involved, the Captain ' s Cabin Mess and the Wardroom. Commanders aboard the DIXON, as well as visiting dignitaries dine with the Commanding Officer in the Cap- tain ' s Mess while all other officers, led by the Executive Officer take their meals in the Wardroom.

S-7 Division The Supply Support Center and the Repair of Other Vessels Divisions are the initial contact points for Supply Department customers. Every RPPO can find his way blindfolded to the S-7 desk where all supply requisitions are screened to ensure the RPPO gets the red lead paint he wants and not two reels of mooring line. The purchasing section main- tains liason with civilian outlets for the purchase of nonstandard items. In the ROVSS branch, the supply loop for repair parts for work on tended units, as well as the DIXON, is closed with the assistance of Repair Department personnel and Supply Department Storekeepers.
