If? 1 'au 3 Napoleon once said that an army travels on its stomach but when it comes to the TOLEDO this seventeen thousand tonner seems to operate solely on paper work Th s is where the EX DEPARTMENT comes into its own combining ten separate offices in one with an obiective of producing the written page The captain s office acts as headquarters for the ship in performing its own specific 7 i ,Qty -lf , 7. V Y- , - . l ' ' I 1 ,..,, - ' - if - in ,-4 ,, . iob Here officer records are maintained, the overall functioning of the ship is recorded and kept on file, and ship's correspondence is checked and cleared for mailing. Working in liaison is the personnel office next door, which deals exclusively with some l,OOO enlisted personnel. Anything that concerns these men administratively is handled by this section as well as their physical arrangement throughout the ship. The legal office is responsible for the interpretation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and most of its time is spent ironing out legal problems for the crew. Morals and morale are closely related matters. The chaplain is the advisor on matters concerning religion. The ship's newspaper, the Sea Blade, under the chaplain's guidance is an element in morale. Assisting the crew educationwise is the information and education office, guiding light for many sailors on the road to higher learning. News of the TOLEDO's accomplishments comes under the guise of public information. News papers, magazines and radio networks are constantly supplied with information about the ship and its crew. Pictures are worth a thousand words. and the photo lab has captured the history of the TOLEDO in black and white. lnvaluable to all of these offices is the print shop. Forms of all sizes, shapes and meanings are composed here and the Sea Blade rolls off its presses every two weeks. Last but not least is the necessary master-at-arms force. Policemen of the Navy, they assure the service of a uniform adherence to naval regulations and see that TOLEDO per- sonnel have that squared away look, trademark of a conscientious crew.
