Steward Rate Is Important InUS.Navy | Unknown to | many civilians, every man in the U. S. Navy has a specific job or rate to perform. One rate, unknown even by most enlisted and officer personnel and yet generally accepted by most, is that of “steward.” The steward must be able to pre pare all kinds of food much the same as a cook, and he must be able to serve that food with the same grace as that of a waiter working-in the Waldorf-Astoria. - James O. Richardson, SD2, of Airship Development Squadron Eleven, is a man who is proud to be a steward. He reported to the | ‘4 squadron from the USS English (DD696) after serving in Korean waters for over nine months. In that period, his was the only ship off the coast of Korea offering fire support for ground troops engaged in combat against North Korean and Chinese Communist troops. It was in this period that he was commended by his commanding of- fieer for his meritorious devotion to duty. When he wasn’t at his battle sta- tion as first loader on the third gun mount, he worked in the ships bakery turning out pastries and bread for his shipmaes. He enlisted in the Navy in 1944 and received his recruit training at Great Lakes, Ill. After “boot camp” he attended Cooks and Bak- steward. at Southern University.
