G4 NOT THE BIGGEST, JUST THE BEST is the motto that G-4 division lives up to in the finest tradition of Mis- souri. As the secondary battery, our mission is dual-purpose, anti-aircraft and shore bombardment. Rated at an average of 20-rounds per minute, per gun, our six twin 5 38 mounts can de- liver 240 rounds of various types of am- munition each minute. 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.
