Before the final shoot of the cruise, GMG2 Crockett GMGSN Weaver trait behind the breech of the gun. Crockett is standing where the fuse setter works. The gun s recoil puts the breech just inches from his face. The 70 men that make Turret 3 click, cover it. GMGSN Gallic and Tays guide the bore brush used to clean the barrel. Like driving down the Holland Tunnel. SN Parker emerges from the 16-inch barrel of Turret 3 after starting from the breech nearly 80 feet GMGSN Chris Davenport GMGSN Mike Gallic GMGSN Thomas Frey GMGSA Frank Goeyvaerts GMGSN James Loseman SN James Parker GMGSN Steven Roberts GMGSN Angelo T.

G3 With it ' s two partners forward, Tur- ret Three provides the main battery firepower that makes Missouri a unique asset in our modern Navy. Hurling pro- jectiles weighing as much as 2,700 pounds over twenty miles, the thunder from the long rifles of Turret Three sig- nals the doom of enemy shipping and shore installations, while reassuring our troops ashore that help is just over the horizon. Turret Three ' s crew of skilled, dedicated Gunner ' s Mates takes great pride in the outstanding condition of readiness of the guns as well as the shipshape appearance of the entire tur- ret. Missouri ' s shakedown cr uise pro- vided several opportunities to demon- strate the capabilities of Turret Three and its crew. The Gunners stand always ready to answer the call for fire again. Our motto: WE COVER YOUR AFT! With a mighty roar, the center gun of Turret 3 i fired for the first time.

One of our main goals is to train gun crews that can safe- ly meet the requirements tasked to our division. We are also responsible for maintaining the ship ' s armory.
