Although no missile firings were conducted during the cruise, The House was al- ways ready. Aside from a few crossed signals between the rnan with the keys to the house and the man with the keys to the alarms, the most interest- ing occurrence was the day Jake tried to launch the dud- jet pan over the side and al- most succeeded. ll- ' I 'E ----4 'Q s 'i H 'w

From small arms to 5-inch, it was Ready in all respects to fire and the competition got hot and heavy between the 3inch crews. Horizon firings as often as possible helped relieve the monotony. Tbe classic expression had to belong to Mac as he counted Japanese workmen swarming into Mt. 51. Left to right, front: GMG2 IILAD, SN MILBRATH.

SUPPLY KING's Supply Depart- ment's function was shipboard support, and they stood ready to assist the line departments throughout the cruise. Led by LCDR Jim KOPP tuntil Novem- berj, LCDR Gary GANZ tafter November, and LTJG Ron BOTTGER, Supply's tasks var- ied from securing vital repair parts to giving hair Cuts.

The increasing d e m a n d s of modern naval warfare equip- ment on the line created the need for a highly proficient Supply Department. KING's Supply Department played a vi- tal part in enabling her to meet all her commitments in an out- standing manner. LCDR.

Inspired by the excellent leadership of SKCS MILNER, the storekeepers worked quietly in the back- ground obtaining the replace- ment part s and everyday ne- cessities to keep the operating departments in business. Allo- cating over 33l65,000 of OPTAR and managing the inventory of over 25,500 different repair parts was the heart of the IU 'thi gym It operations. With schedule changes the rule and supply support remote, the SK's proved to be masters of the un- usual methods of locating parts and services. Whether it was paint in the Gulf of Tonkin, oil in the Bay of Bengal, flower arrangements in Wellington, or marijuana-detecting dogs in Subic, the Stores Division came through. The SK's rightly feel they contributed to putting KING on the First Team.
