The Supply Department under the guidance of three officers and four' chiefs assumes the responsibility for supplying all necessary items for operation of the ship. The largest of these tasks is the accounting and issue of all the ship's food and cargo to other ships of the fleet. In addition they have the job of operating the ship's store and ship's laundry, as well as the messing and disbursing duties. Storekeepers are divided into two groups. The first is in charge of the cargo issued to the fleet and the spaces in which it is stored. The second group is responsible for the supplies issued by our own ship in its everyday operations. Stewards and Commissarymen are involved with the preparation of meals, Disbursing Clerks are responsible for the monu- mental task of preparing the pay records, paying the crew twice a month, registering allotments, processing travel claims, and many other money matters. Operation of the ship's store, ship's laundry and barber shop is consigned to those men working in the rate of Ship's Servicemen. mf' ,Wy -Q 1 f f f x f f f 41 X f f -.....-...t... ,JA - - s--T,-f --1-L. -is g-' -'-tinge h W K!
