s u p p L Y t M LCDR. O. R. BLANTON Supply Officer Columbus. Ohio X Understandably so, this is one of the ship ' s largest and most important departments. Headed by Lieutenant Commander O. R. Blanton, the de- partment is made up of three additional officers and 67 enlisted men, whose duties and responsibilities encompass everything from procuring a can of orange juice, to that of paying the commanding officer and seaman Jones, or issuing an aircraft engine. Divided into two divisions — S-1 and S-2 — the organization has grouped such ratings as storekeepers, aviation storekeeper, disbursing clerks, commissarymen, ship ' s servicemen, stewards and stewardsmen. And with the exception of ordnance and medical supplies, these officers and men take care of all pro- curement, receipt, stowage, custody, issue, and accounting for all supplies and equipment required for the ship and her aircraft to successfully accomplish her mission. S-1 division takes in the operation of the ship ' s store, pay office, store rooms, plus the greater portion of the department ' s administrative duties; S-2 has the cooks, bakers, stewards and ship ' s servicemen. Their concern is the preparation and serv- ing of foods. And herein lies their closeness to all our hearts. For even under difficult circumstances the consensus of the Whiting crew is that our cooks, bakers and stewards put out some of the best chow in the fleet. And as for our store- keepers: Their motto states, The difficult is done now; the impossible takes a little longer. c V? 20
