My job on the combat store ship was to make sure that the 21 three-ton forklifts were firmly secured and positioned to keep the ship on an even keel.   One night I was told to report to the captain’s stateroom.  After I knocked and entered, the captain silently folded his arms, lifted his feet, then pushed himself away from his desk on his chair, which was equipped with wheels.  He slowly coasted across the room to the starboard side, then said “dismissed.”    I took the hint and moved six forklifts to the port side.
