REPLENISHING LYNDE MCCORMICK M : S. Hook er up and send it back. You can steam around a long time before you find a supermarket in the 1 Q 1 w K 4: at 7 Pacific. Although we can carry enough food to provide for our crew for Q! over 60 days, fresh foods just do not keep that long. Most of our pro- V visions are brought aboard by underway replenishments. It's a tricky operation to move two ships close enough together to pass stores across on a wire, but the Pacific's best DDG can boast of a fine record. Our UNREP station crews are fast and safe and our ship control y team maneuvers the ship with unequaled expertise. Xu , , R Stores handlers clear the station. l i ' 5 Bridge, Midships.
