s 1- NG THE SHIP LI ABLE ln January 1983, the Supply Department moved into a warehouse in San Diego and began its organization of equipmentand supplies destined to be brought aboard SHENANDOAH. Over 2000 pallets and triwalls would eventually be moved from this warehouse and loaded aboard the ship. The pace picked up in July when the 200 habitability team members reported to the ship. This team prepared messing and berthing spaces for the rest of the crew. Following delivery of the ship to the Navy, a limited outfitting began. Bedding, cleaning gear, essential equipment and other hab- itability items required to provide berthing and to open food service, ship's store, disbursing and laundry operations were brought aboard. Over 200 pallets of initial allowance provisions were onloaded to establish an endurance load sufficient to feed a crew of more than 1,300 gi 'v as-Sq' ff' :v i i A k . I -' X ,c ' Q! f ' .

This time, Navy personnel were onboard to witness the demonstration of all systems. For example, we conducted a four-hourfull power run. Then, in a maneu- ver known as a crashback where the ship's power is switched from full ahead to full astern, it took over five minutes to stop the ship. We also tested the rudder through its full range at full power ahead. Another test was the water washdown system that uses sea water to protect the ship from nuclear fallout. On 26 July, the contractor delivered the ship to the U.S. Navy and limited outfitting began. la--fx ll Illini- 'tr 4 1 . 'Y NASSCO Representative tum overlheinalpaperwork to CAPTIZ M.
