Now, we fight with radars, Harpoon , and M-60 machine guns. The Gunner's Mates of today have a vast technological advantage over their forefathers, but still have, essentially, the same duties. . A . LANG's Gunner's Mates of Second Division conduct maintenance on the electrical, electronic, and hydraulic systems of the.5-inch '54 caliber gun mount, proper handling and stovvage of ammunition, training in the correct use of small arms, and secure stowage and upkeep of LANG's landing force equipment., T-he Fire Control Technicians are responsible for the complex target tracking systems, missiles, missile launchers, and associated equipment. Fire Control Technicians IGunsl work on the ANXSPG-53F fire control radar, while the Fire Control Techni- cians IMissilesl take care of the Basic Point Defense and Harpoon Missile Sys- tems. ., - From the roar of eight pounders to the blast of Harpoons. . We have come a long way.
