This summer, X the SALEM has reprovisioned at sea four times and has set X records for the operation. 'K 11, t ,, , nh - , Zi' it Replenishment at sea is a complex exercise. Days ig before going alongside all details in getting the food aboard and below have to be worked out. Bottlenecks at the receiving stations must be eliminatedg perish- ables must be scheduled for immediate stowageg breakage must be guarded against. The supervisors of all this preparation and of the replenishment itself are the personnel of the S-l and S2A divisions. The deck force plays a large part in a replenishment exercise too, for they are the people who rig and con- trol the nets. In fact it's an all hands evolu- I , tion and all hands rate a Well done for f provisioning at sea.

As at American boxing matches, the spirit of the crowd was tremendous. Sometimes thunderous ovations were given the bullfighter, or roars of disapproval greeted a puny bull. Never changing, though, was the matchless color and pag- eantry of this merciless and dangerous sport. The gayly costumed toreros, matadors, and banderilleros who conquered the bull on foot. and the mounted picadors who prodded the bull with a lance - all this to music- created a colorful, yet gruesome spectacle. Spilled blood lifted the crowd to a near frenzy, while a fallen fighter brought sudden silence. was '-410 ' f- K f' A bb 'irmaa-7 f A SK' Ole!!

Fueling at sea is a combined operation of the deck force and the engineering gang. The 2nd and 4th divisions are responsible for readying the fuel oil hoses before fueling, handling lines during the operation, and securing the hoses upon com- pletion. The B Division oil kings man the pump rooms during fueling and it is their job to see that each fuel tank is filled to 9570 of its capacity. The B Division also furnishes men at each forward and after fueling station, who are prepared to release the hose in case of an emergency. Speed is a requisite of this operation and the SALEM, thanks to her fueling detail, has maintained her reputation as a smart ship. ,
