Second Division The Gunner ' s Mates are in charge of the 5 . 54 gun mount, a rapid fire mount used for anti-aircraft, surface to surface, and shore bombardment to support ground troops. They are also responsible for all small arms on board, which are used for ship ' s defense, security, and boarding parties. The Fire Controlmen are divided into two workcen- ters: CIWS technicians and Mk 68 GFCS technicians. CIWS techs maintain the Phallanx .20mm anti-aircraft weapon system. It is the latest in AAW technology cur- rently installed on USS KIRK. Its primary capabilities in- clude a firing rate of approximately 3000 rounds per min- ute and totally enclosed search and track radars capable of tracking the target and the CIWS rounds themselves. Mk 68 GunFire Control System techs maintain and operate the Mk47 analog computer and the AN SPG-53F radar system. Together they plot 5 rounds with great accuracy. 34
