Larson. l2O One of the most important reasons why an aircraft carrier is such a potent striking arm of my nation's might is its self-sufficiency. I am G fantastically complex collection of machines designed to operate aircraft and to defend myself. But, having no rail lines or truck caravans to connect me with supply facilities, I must carry with me everything needed for operations at sea. The people who see to it that I am ready for seameready to remain at sea, even for months at a timevfrare the men of the Supply Department. To them falls the task of insuring that the mountainous quantities of supplies are on board for use by my departments and Air Group. Operating in close liaison with shore- based supply activities, the men of Supply plan far into the future to anticipate the personal needs of my 2600 men and the supplies and equipment needed for extended periods of operation at sea. ? ,,.fr ' I, ..., ..i If F , J QU

These are the men who supply the mountainous quantities of supplies that my Air Group and l require. Repair parts, equipage, aviation stores, general stores, and electronics and ordnance spares are all carried on their inventories. Constantly determining future require- ments, the men of S-l make sure that the millions of dollars worth of equip- ment required to keep me operating is on hand for my divisions and squadrons. 1' it i Q t i 2 .1 M il t tb i al.. l :': t J .- ELL l- if' N 5 ' 5- i ., 15 .
