Each area of Supply was confronted with newsand interesting challenges mainly resulting from the requirement to procure all materialsand services from the local economies. p s While on deployment, Supply Department prepared l08,000srations requiring 38 tons offoodg sold 340,000 worth of merchandise QU' ll? U we a t 1 'Q 97 from the ship's store: sold 40,000 cans of soda popg cut 2500 heads of hairg and cleaned 18 tons of laundry. Additionally, S845,000 in bills were paid to local vendors for material and services received such as fuel, utilities, food and parts.
