LTJ G Grahn Contrary to a few minority opinions, the Supply Department is often referred to as the 'backbone of the fleet'. Our energetic, creative group of 47 fed, paid washed clothes, cut hair, kept soap in the soap dishes and Wowies,Fidd1ei Faddle, and other 'gedunk' in the mouths of the 290 officers and men of the LYNDE MCCORMICK. Under the able direction of our Supply Officer, LT Tom Hazlett, the Storekeepers provided all the necessary spare parts and supplies - from paper clips to high voltage boxes - to keep us afloat and on the ,go for the seven-month cruise. Our Assistant Supply- Officer, LTJG Grahn, heads up the service branches of Supply: the General Mess, the Laundry, Disbursing, Ship's Store, Barber Shop, and would-be vending machines. Our food service branch has fed some 178,500 individual meals at a cost of 883,000.00 Thanks to our seven skilled Cooks we have been able to please most of the crew most of the time and turn out many an excellent meal. Our one and only baker has produced 14,000 lbs. of some of the best bakery products that have ever graced our tables. The twelve ever-present and dutiful messcooks have kept cleanliness and sanitation at an optimum through their three times daily scrub down of the entire messdecks area. . .a dubious honor. Our 'ace' Disbursing Clerk has assisted the Disbursing Officer in paying out over a half-million dollars in fourteen paydays, processed some 1000 vouchers and claims of kinds and computed over 4200 individual payments. He also has become a most practiced and proficient card player. , The nine Stewardsmates kept Officers Country ship-shape and prepared 12,600 individual servings for our 24 officers. LTJG Cochran still refuses to accept brussel sprouts as one of the Navy's staple food, but we can still boast a menu with everything from gili-gili to lobster tails.
