Statistics The following are not necessarily official statistics, but give some idea what goes into an eight month cruise on a minesweeper. The ship's beefy Packards burned 233, 198 gallons of fuel, and ' soaked in 16, 047 gallons of lube oil. Spare parts for all departments netted about 340, 840. And the crew consumed 10,000 pounds assorted fresh meat, 800 gallons of ice cream, and 5,000 gal- lons of fresh milk. Also, 6,000 pounds of bread. No one bothered to record how many times Doc Stevens suggested we clear the mess decks, but responsible estimates go into the millions. Men in the engineering department who stood sound and security watches in three sections through- out the cruise, logged in 325 watches each. Each radioman worked about 1, 900 hours on watch. Throughout the cruise, 1, 300 messages were sent out and 200 relayed for other stations. Roughly 350, 000 broadcast messages were screened ,by radiomen and electronic technicians. The. teletypes unraveled 360 rolls of paper. Meanwhile, the Combat Information Center obtained 2, 880 radar fixes on the DMZ, and 4, 232 during the deployment. Underway, the crew snorted down over 24,000 cans of soft drinks. And ashore, we spent a recorded 323,494 37 on purchases, as declared to customs. 1 l
