ORDNANCE and GUN N ERY T0 BE AN EFFECTIVE fighting unit, a warship must be capable of inflicting maximum damage upon the enemyg to survive, it must be able to defend itself against hostile attack. In Ordnance Training, the recruit learns some of the the duties performed on board ship by The Man Behind the Gun. Ordnance and Gunnery training begins with instruction in the use of small arms. At the snapping-in range, under the guidance of experienced rifle range coaches, the recruit learns how to load and sight a rifle, how to adjust the sling, and how to fire the weapon from the several positions, Later he will spend a day on the outdoor rifle range firing the Garand M-1 rifle for record. He will also be instructed in the use of the service pistol and carbine and will witness firings of the Browning automatic rifle and the Thompson sub-machine gun. Throughout, the safe use of weapons is stressed in instruc- tion and rigidly enforced on the firing line. ln advanced training the recruit receives an introduction to the larger weapons he will see on board ship and learns some of the principles of their operation. Although he will not witness the actual firing of these shipboard weapons until he goes to sea, he receives practical experience in sighting and loading a five-inch gun, using dummy ammunition. He is shown the various types of ammunition he will encounter and handle on board ship and learns the necessity for strictly observing the safety precautions which are necessary for his own safety and that of his shipmates.
