FIRE POWER USN Whether it's offense or defense, it's fire power that determines the final outcome of the battle. The Naval officer must be famil- iar with every type of arms and armament which is used by the Navy. At the right is pictured the his- toric Mighty Mo or the USS Missouri. She represents the finest in naval destructive power. lt was on this ship that the .lapa- nese surrender was signed, and without guns such as those which she carries on her deck, victory in the Pacific would have been postponed many wasteless months, if not years. The Officer Candidates learned in great detail both the techniques of operation, and the intricate mechanisms of many of the guns carried by the U.

sf 45 AUTOMATICS Breakdown of sidearms. lt was off to the gun shed once a week for ROC Twos as part of the gunnery department cur- ricula. There enlisted men demonstrated the work- ing parts of the guns diagrammed so graphically in the gunnery book. More often than not, the contents of those diagrams were 'digested only after these periods of practical work. ROC Twos were expected to know the nomen- clature, basic mechanisms and operating cycles of typical navy guns. The 5 f38, a popular Navy example of the semi-automatic and the 40 mm fully automatic machine gun, were two examples TRAINER of ordnance equipment on which students could do practical work. ROCS in basic gunnery also were acquainted with a fire control problem they will not soon for- get. The mathematical computations involved in firing a gun were minutely calculated by ROC Twos while the 'advanced students learned that in practice mechanical computers do this work. CLASSES AFLOAT -.
