S-2 Division S-2 Division is divided up into two major sections: Disbursing Clerks and Stewards. The Disbursing Clerk's major service to the crew is paydays, obviously. They also handle the financial transactions of the crew member such as travel, dislocation claims and allotments. This allows person- nel to save, support their dependents and to generally budget their pay checks. The Stewards' primary function is to arrange and manage Officer's Country. They are divided into 3 sections: stateroom personnel, galley personnel and Wardroom personnel. Three stewards are also assigned to work directly for the two Captains. They take care of any special functions the Captains may require.

The SANCTUARY Chefs and messmen are responsible for providing the 450-man crew of the ship with three wholesome and balanced meals per day and an attractive location in which to eat and relax. An awful lot of behind-the-scenes work is involved in this effort, from the men who accept, count and store the tremendous amount of food- stuffs necessary to support the crew, to the stock records keeper who maintains records of onboard stock, requisitions items and prepares monthly and quarterly finance re- turns. ln addition, there are the messmen who face the thankless job of keeping up a space for the crew to enjoy their meals and relax in the evening, and the Commissary- men who are tasked with providing the meals which the crew so often take for granted. The bakers often begin work at 0400, and at 0630, when reveille is piped, the normal galley workday is well underway.
