Abstract

The outstanding point of gunnery interest is the performance of Not folk’s GS radar type 274. The ship was never in doubt of the accurate range and bearing of the individual targets, despite the closeness of the land, while, of sixty-four broadsides fired, only four were not spotted by radar. Results with types 284 and 285 were meagre in comparison.
