Might enmassedn The Renville was there The formation reached an area south of Jamaica and split up, the half with the Ren- ville commenced patrolling, while the other half dispersed to liberty and upkeep ports. Around and around a small designated area the patrolling force cruised in the gay Windy steel blue sea, the monotony broken only spas- modically by the Welcome arrival of a heli- copter with a few bags of back mail.

LCDR GEORGE BUBEN fsch CW0 ANTHONY BRUN0 SUPPLY DEPART E Perhaps no other department comes into personal contact with the crew, in rendering services as often as does the Supply Department. From the galley to GSK the S-1 Division is here to help you or feed you. S-1 is only half of the Supply Department but just as important as its other half. We look to S-1 three times a day for those home-cooked meals and interesting pastries. Often we've passed the bake shop to savor those delicious aromas floating through the door, or stopped by the galley to inhale the odors of what's cooking. The commissarymen not only cook the f00d but must order the supplies in advance and then carefully plan the menus to fulfill a balanced, nutritious diet. The storekeepers in the supply rooms and GSK keep the ship well supplied with various nuts, bolts, washers, P31135 for this machine or that, paint, office supplies, cleaning gear, tile, line, electrical parts and light bulbs, and pIHCtiC3llY anything you need. The bulk of the paper work for all this stocking is carried on in the Supply Office, and a big job it is keeping the ship stocked with supplies and repair parts to enable it to function for long periods without replenish- ing, if necessary. It takes a lot of planning and know-how to run this department effectively, and on the Renville this is certainly the case as demonstrated by the Efficiency award received d ' ff h urmg t e WestPac Deployment.
