It lcemper stores officer lcdr hay assistant supply officer s-l division The responsibility of S-l Division may be described in one wordkSERVlCE. Contained in 32 storerooms are more than 36,000 dilterent type items, from nuts and bolts to electron tubes to 800 pound bearings. OtTice supplies requested by offices throughout the ship are also stocked by S-l. The storerooms are open for normal issues from 0800 to l600 daily except Sundays and Holidays. Should emergencies arise after normal issue hours, a duty Storekeeper is standing by to meet the requirement. Stock record cards are maintained by OFFice Store- keepers on each item of stock. Daily, when the store- rooms have closed, issue stubs are brought to the Supply Office and posted from the stock records, thereby maintaining an accurate record of each item on hand. When stocks are depleted to a reorder point, requisi- tions are submitted to the nearest supply activity, and stocks are soon replenished. The S-l division is also responsible for loading and stowing these materials, and assuring the money granted the ship is properly administered. silccires , I 1, - N., W., ,.,., , f , A- Ven- :ss ,:'y:s5:,gg:g'ggszgrf,gg uf vh,,,,.,4,,.M.n ,wif -,F ,,I:.3,: ,,-,hm E , NL.,-,,,..-A,-s,.,r,,,,.., ,T ., . 4...- si- , rr.. ...-.... 47... .... , .. ...f , 1 .

SQZ ivisicm Next to liberty, a ship's general mess is the most discussed subject in the sea going Ncsvy. Every man on board spends at least two hours of each day on the mess decks. The mess decks are a dining room and a meeting place where a sailor can sit down and shoot the breeze over a cup of coffee. The general mess is the only restaurant in town. lt has to please every man on board three times a day every day. lt has to feed around the clock. S-2 Division, the largest division on board LEXING- TON has the iob of running the general mess. Talent and hard work have produced the results which have earned LEX the reputation of being a good feeder. All the men in the division work for this reputation: bakers who turn out five hundred loaves of bread a day, commissary men who grill thousands of steaks to order in a matter of hours, or prepare salads that have earned the praise of COMSEVENTHFLEET. The commissary men, the strikers, the messcooks and the masters at arms all realize how important a part they play in their ships operation. Their motto: S-2 can do. flood 'front row Cl. 1'o r.l: evans l. cs2, george w. cs2, lewis m. sa, bryan r l cs3 ones e e c 3 SI Ing es d sn lowe I h s blood e. r. cs3, arfferty w. g. cs2, torre p. csl, bettencourt r. f. csc canright r a csc elmore t r cs3 pcard I p csl deposatar f csl nickle i i sgt standing: follum f. e. cs3, hendrix p.o. fa, myles e cs ous r sn elmore e sn leath I e cssn peacocc s mcgrath t. m. ens, tuttle k. o. sn, ford c. g. cs3, stenner r. i. etn3, beat h cs3 checson c l sn holley d d cs2
