of readiness affecting ships of the type command.
These supply officers supervise the replenishment of
supplies from mobile supply units under the operational
control of the type commander. They also review and
take action on requisitions submitted by fleet units that
require approval of higher authority. They also conduct
inspections of supply functions throughout the
command as required or needed.
AFLOAT SUPPLY ORGANIZATION
The head of the supply department is the supply
0fficer. The supply officer is either a Supply Corps
officer assigned to that duty or a line officer designated
as such by the commanding officer. The supply officer
is responsible to the commanding officer for the proper
performance and administration of all supply
department functions.
(See OPNAVINST 3120.32,
Standard Organization and Regulations of the U.S.
Navy, par. 328.) Although responsibility and
accountability for certain supply department functions
may be assigned to subordinates in accordance with
chapter 1 of the NAVSUP P-485, such assignments do
not relieve the supply officers of their responsibility to
their commanding officers for the proper performance
of the functions so assigned.
