1000+ and Ships

ActivClient:"wishful thinking...Ship stores would never sell cleaning products...kind laundry mini packets...Maybe..."

....and you profess to have naval involvement? If civvies need it, so do their cousins.

A ship chandler is a retail dealer in special supplies or equipment for ships.
Today's chandlers deal more in goods typical for fuel-powered commercial ships, such as oil tankers, container ships, bulk carriers. They supply the crew's food, ships maintenance supplies, cleaning compounds, paint, rope, et cetera. The advantage of a ship's crew using a chandler is that they do not have to find stores in the town they have landed in, nor hold that local currency - assuming they are let out of the dock compound by the immigration authorities. Typically, the ship owner has a line of credit with the chandler and is billed for anything delivered to the crew of his ship.

I like idea for Kind Laundry pocket paks, similar to 1000+ pocket paks (as made in the past). I could see uses for these as it relates to the military.

While there is always a certain amount of hope or wishful thinking (in many things)...there are also documented support that it could happen

For Sailors stationed aboard Navy ships, the Ship’s Store is a quality of life necessity for obtaining needed items while on deployment. Ship’s Stores carry basic necessities such as soap and shampoo as well as a limited selection of semi-luxury items such as watches and consumer electronic items. Sailors can also purchase prepaid AT&T Global Prepaid Cards to call loved ones back home.

The Ship’s Stores is also responsible for a number of quality of life services aboard ship including vending machines, barber shops and laundry services for crew members.
