Supply Department LT Villanueva Amiscosa Supply Officer The Supply Department, the heart of the DUBUQUE, provides for all mate- rial and personal needs and keeps the DUBUQUE combat ready at all times. The Supply Department consists of five divisions: each equally important. Sup- ply Support Division (S-1) provides parts support and coordinated supply sup- port for the Minesweepers. They also control the budget for the entire ship. Food Service Division (S-2) , with two galleys: the main galley and the CPO galley; were cookin throughout the cruise. In addition to preparing four meals daily, for over 800 sailors and marines, they also coordinated provision transfer to the minesweepers, organized monthly steel beach picnics and weekly all you can eat pizza and ice cream nights. The Sales Division (S-3) , acting much like a full-scale Navy Exchange, provided retail sales, laundry and barbering services to many satisfied customers, including minesweeper crews on LPD liberty. During the deployment they turned over $50,000.00 in profit to the Welfare and Recreation Fund. Disbursing Division (S-4) worked long hours processing pay records, travel claims and cashing checks to keep the morale of the crew high. The Officers Mess Division (S-5) managed two galleys and berthing for over 80 Navy and Marine Corps officers. These five divisions proved instrumental in the successfulness of our deployment.
