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 ,
