Merchant ship gunnery
Hi,
Yep Undersealcpl,. that's the one. Of course, all defensively equipped merchant ships had the gun on the stern, something to do with the Geneva convention I believe, and no Myxale, I don't think it is at all reasonable. They usually carried one DEMS gunner who had to train a civilian crew, not an easy task. Rangefinding was by guess and by God. Constantly adjusting overs and unders until you had it, then relying on the trainer to point in the right direction, and it does have to be spot on with an end on target. I was struck 3 times in 3 rounds in the forward tubes, not a pretty sight from the receiving end!!!!
