3. That naval headquarters has considered the request for assistance favorably, at the same time pointing out the suitability of having the SSGFRI extend its services to the Navy bases in the remote regions of the Amazon where the sailors find themselves afflicted with the same necessities and appetites as those of the Army’s noncommissioned officers and soldiers that motivated the creation of the Special Service;
4. That having been consulted in the matter, Capt. (Quartermaster) Pantaleón Pantoja, PA, replied that there are no obstacles to the SSGFRI’s acceding to said suggestion, specifying that the River Forces of the Amazon should administer a test of its own devising in the jungle bases for the purpose of ascertaining the potential number of users in the Peruvian Navy (PN) of the SSGFRI, which test, implemented by the officers in charge with all due speed and care, yielded a potential number of 327 users , with an average aspiration per user of 10 monthly services and an average duration aspired to of 35 minutes per individual service;
Decides:
1. That the ex-dispensary boat the S.S. Pachitea , with a permanent crew of four men under the command of First Subofficer Carlos Rodríguez Saravia, be provisionally assigned to the Special Service as a means of transport on the rivers of the Amazon Basin between its logistics center and its utilization centers;
2. That before leaving Santa Clotilde base, where she has remained after being retired from an uninterrupted half century of navigation in the service of the Navy, a record that began with her outstanding participation in the conflict with Colombia in 1910, the S.S. Pachitea , PN, be stripped of flags, insignia and other distinguishing marks that point to her being a ship of the Peruvian Navy, that she be painted the color indicated by Capt. (Quartermaster) Pantaleón Pantoja, PA, provided that it is neither steel gray nor cloud white, which are the colors of the PN boats, and that its original name, S.S. Pachitea , on the prow and on the command bridge be replaced with that of Eve , which the Special Service has chosen for her;
3. That (a) before assuming their new duties, First Subofficer Carlos Rodríguez Saravia and the crew under his command be duly briefed by their superiors on the delicacy of the mission they are going to execute and the necessity for them to dress as civilians in the performance of same and to hide their status as members of the Navy; (b) they observe maximum restraint in regard to what they see and hear in the course of their deployment and, in general, (c) they avoid the slightest cognizance or disclosure about the nature of the service to which they have been detailed;
4. That the fuel required by the S.S. Pachitea , PN, in its new mission be paid for proportionally by the Navy and the Army, according to the respective use of the Special Service, which can be determined by the number of services rendered to each branch per month or by the number of sailings to military garrisons or river bases assigned to the SSGFRI;
5. That because of its confidential nature, this disposition may not be read into the orders of the day, nor posted on the bases, but must be communicated exclusively to the officers who must execute it.
