KEGLEY WM DIVISION The Weapons Department is primarily responsible for maintaining the ship's armament and equipment used in con- nection with- deck and marlinspike sea- manship. The ship's primary anti- aircraft battery is the TARTAR surface- to-air missile,.which incluclesza the guided-missile launching system, the missile fire control system, and the weapon's direction equipment. When a target is received on the search radar, the Weapon Direction equipment eval- uates the target and assigns it to a missile system. When the computer so- lution is ready to control the launcher, the Weapons Direction equipment re- motely connects the launcher to the com- puter. At the proper range, the Weapons Officer fires the missile. . P513 FTMC K.w. COTTRELL L l 1, I I g I

BARN!-IART Gunnery Officer WG DIVISION The ship's secondary anti-aircraft battery and shore battery is the gun battery which in- cludes the 5 f54 projectile, the 5 f54 gun mount, and the gunfire control system. En- gagement of a target is started by the search radar feeding a display into the Weapon Direction equipment which in turn evaluates the information and points the gun director at the target. As soon as the gun computer can convert traching information into orders to control the gun, the gun is connected to the computer. At the proper range, the gun will tire a projectile at the target. The gun computer predicts where the target will be when the projectile target, rather than tire directly at the target. ll I I I GIVIGC Fi.I... FIOGEFIS 5 I GIVIGC FLC. I-IANS - Vw ,
