The name Supply means many different things aboard HUBBARD. It is the name of a division and adepartment. It is a colorful collection of widely differing rates, some having little in common except their berthing space. It is a rambling network of little kingdoms --- Dietzman regally dispensing candy and shoe polish from the ship's store, Brannon handing down the statues of BuSanda from his supply throne, Penera fussing and fuming in the wardroom pantry ---- each small domain in its own small way offering some form of service to the ship. Overall, Supply is a kind of service funnel, an intake valve for HUBBARD'S wants. As a division and as a department, as whatever you want to call it when the meatloaf seems dry or the bearing you need is out of stock, it takes on goods by the ton and stores, trans- forms and hands them out. During just the first three months of the cruise, Chief Buirge and his merry band of cooks took on board a king's ransom in food and served over twenty thousand meals. The ship's servicemen sold athousandcokes amonth, consumed a mountain of soap in the laundry, and cut enough hair to stuff a weather balloon. The stewards produced a great deal, too, much of it gray of color and strange of taste. The storekeepers kept records of all the above, divided the optar, and then redivided it to keep the engineers solvent, and nearly lost their minds tryingto answer Ensign Miller's questions.
