Default Can somebody explain what "flash" is?

Well, actually, I know that flash is a specific type of fire, but I was wondering if somebody out there who's familiar with surface ship gunnery could break it down for me and explain to me in layman's terms how the phenomenon works?

Thanks in advance!
