Some Oddjobs on Ship

Now that the Communication Department is finished, I want to talk about Supply Department.
It has three major job ratings in the department and is also in charge of moral. The
first rating I spoke of was the LSes, who are in charge of keeping extra repair parts on ship and an LS is always the hazmat custodian. The next rate, which I will start talking about today and finish on my next post are the SHes, who take care of the ship’s store and vending machines as well as other ship services. The third major rating in the Supply Department is the CSes, who take care of making all the meals and making sure the officers’ staterooms are clean and usable.
I spoke in an earlier post about using replicators and if you plan to use something
similar than you probably don’t need a ship store but you may want one for specialty items too rare or difficult to replicate or a place for the locals from each port call to set up a souvenir shop for the duration of the stop. Modern naval ships have a ship’s store because most are out at sea for weeks or months on end and most of the crew don’t have the space to keep things like snacks and hygiene products for that long. The ship’s store allows them to have more space for leisure items such as favorite books, study materials, or electronics. When they run out of stuff they need, including uniform items such as hats that may blow off in the wind, pins if they get promoted, or socks along with hygiene products or small leisure items for a splurge. The store also sells snack items such as candy and sodas, which are also sold at places on ship called the geedunk where vending machines are placed, or chips and salsa. For those hungry between meals or who had to work through meals there are hot plates from the CSes, which are basically plates of food kept from the last meal that can maybe be microwaved, or there are microwave meals, like
ramen noodles or Hot Pockets, at the ship’s store.
