My Apologies 
To those who have sent 
their names and additional 
information, that I have 
not yet added.
This project has become 
very large and though I 
work on it almost every 
day, it is impossible 
for me to keep up. 
I will continue to add the 
names and information as 
quickly as I can. 
Thank You All For Your Support

"Hey Joe! Wanna get a clip job?"
 
A haircut is only one of the services offered to 
the crew by the S-3 Division. These men operate 
the ship laundry, dry cleaning plant, three barber 
shops, one soda fountain, the smoke shop, 
clothing store and the ship store.
They do an average business of more than 
$100,000 each month, providing money to the ship's 
Welfare and Recreation fund from their profits.

I would like to hear from some of the guys I worked 
with. I enjoyed my short stay on board the Indy and 
will always remember the good times with my shipmates. 
 I hope they decide not to sink her!
