| US Battleship Construction Operation and Description of Ordnance Installation aboard South Dakota (BB-57), August 1944. |
| Based on a general gunnery information book for officers and petty officers new to the Gunnery Department aboard BB57. Details of operation were omitted and an attempt was made to present the overall picture in as simple and direct form as possible. Because of its complexity, fire control equipment does not lend itself to such treatment and where necessary, details of fire control apparatus were included to elucidate its function in the gunnery problem. The information, though not as detailed as technical descriptions found aboard ship, is generally correct in every aspect for the period of 1944. |
