Supply Operations, Weapons, and Engineering must, of course, receive high credit for the manner in which they served and the peak levels of readiness of their equipments. This state of readiness could never have been possible, however, without the excellent support given to all departments by Supply. Under the leadership of LT Jeffrey Gordon all areas of Supply, from GSK to the galley, did their best to provide their specialty, service, to the crew. As head of the department and Supply Officer, LT Gordon held the unenviable position as custodian of the ship's precious OPTAR dollars, trying to stretch them out over the entire quarter whlle simultaneous- ly meeting the high repair parts usage caused by the ship's extensive operations. Supply was also one of the primary factors influen- cing the morale of the crew. Within LT Gordon's cognizance were the galley which prepared and served all the meals for 300 plus men of STRAUSSQ the laundry where the uniforms and linens were washed, and the ship's store where health items, toiletries, cigarettes, and gee-dunk were available for the crew. Faced with a myriad of activities within his own department and vitally concerned with the material needs of the other departments, LT Gordon set the pace for his men. Through his efforts the quantity of Supply's vital product, service to the crew, was maintained at a level of consistent excellence. Q-rx-as-M-w-Q :xr PORK CHOP POWER
