SUEIQEY Why does a ship need a Supply Department ? Mainly to get the right materials aboard at the right time. The materials other Departments need to operate and fight the ship, Also, of no small importance, to feed the crew. These are the bare essentials. The Supply Department provides many other services for all hands. Most of them are services to improve morale. Consider a Seaman aboard the Sally. He buys toothpaste and shaving cream for his daily needs at the ship's store. He can also buy jewelery for his wife, souveniors for his children, and a wrist Watch for himself. If he needs his uniforms to be altered or repaired he can take it to the Shipis Tailor Shop. He gets a free haircut in the Barbershop. The laundry washes all his clothes regularly. If his dress juniper is wearing out he can buy a new one through the ship's clothing and small stores. On pay day the dis- bursing office hands out the money. If he wants to save money he can open up a savings account with the disbursing office. He can increase his allotment to send more money home to his family. And he can thank the Supply Department for all these services. Intl , .....r LCDR Morehouse lsemilg -si ,F 5 1 fn- I I :W Q ,. IES!!

Stork S-I DIVISION This Division has three main sections. They are the Storeroom, Ofhce and Aviation sections. Each section has a great deal to accomplish each day. Sometimes the Work goes on till way into the night. The Storeroom section has many jobs to do. Their main job is to receive, stovv and issue material. Besides that they have to keep the many storerooms in shipshape condition as to cleanliness and preservation. At times when stores come aboard, they have to supervise working parties to see that the materials are handled properly and sent to the right storeroom. After stores are aboard the material has to be stowed in the proper bins and the receipt papers sent to the Ufiice section. During the day and sometimes during the night issues are made to the various departments in the ship. The materials issued are used for the upkeep and maintenance of the ship and repair of inoperative equipment and machinery. The Utllce Section has many jobs to do each day also. Their main job is to account and requisition material and send ofl correspondence pertaining to the functions and procedures of supply. The Office section is made up of four units. They are the Stock Control, Fiscal. Correspondence, and the Publications unit. The Stock Control unit maintains the stock record cards for repair parts and general material. This includes posting receipts, issues, inventories, price changes, stock number changes and recording of material as needed to support the ship. The Fiscal unit accounts for the Ships Operating money and types requisitions for supplies for the ships maintenance and operation and storeroom stock. The biggest job is getting the appropriate reports out on time each month. Accounting for the ships operating money includes many odd jobs. Besides the reports, there are the many messages that are received and sent out each day pertaining to the ships requisitions. The correspondence unit takes care of all of the incoming and outgoing correspondence pertaining to supply. This includes typing new Supply Instructions, letters pertaining to Supply functions and procedures and reports on Ships Operating money. Besides typing up the various correspondence, this unit also files and routes the various correspcmdence. The Publications unit is an information center pertaining to stock numbers, prices and allowances of material. New Bulletins and changes are received monthly and have to be inserted to keep the publications up to date. The allowance lists have to be checked frequently to see that the proper allowance of material is being main- tained on board. The Aviation section. an essential part of S-1 Division, has the primary mission of supporting the seaplanes operating with the ship. During operations, issues are made to the squadrons and reports rendered to higher authority on the total capability of this ship to support aircraft. Wheri not operating with seaplanes, records must be maintained. stocks brought up to normal deployment levels, and reports made to higher authority any changes in status of material in stock, which includes the removal of material that is beyond the recommended storage life, and advising higher authority of material on board that is in short supply within the Naval Supply System. This Branch also intercepts messages from all West Pac Patrol squadrons and furnishee parts to keep their aircraft in an up status, even though they are not operating directly with the ship.
