Ah the infamous test launch of one of the initial trial versions of the TridentII D5 missile by USS Tennessee (SSBN-734) about 1988-1989. Soviets were all kinds of nervous because they had no ABM that could track in a corkscrew flight pattern ... LOL

Thanks for that, Nuke. Thought it was a bad rudder....

just got the actual info from my brother, hes a few years older and spoke to him more

he actually tried the army but got caught for being 15
got kicked out and recruiter told him the navy it taking everyone they can find
navy caught on but he was on the boat already and turned 16 in between

closed mount 5"
he was (if we remember) what he called the gun "layer or pointer"
there were a few gauges/sights
he would work the elevation and match the bottom/info (radar or command sighting) and the top was his outputs
there were also the gun turrets sights but he said they almost always used the radar/command tracking
he thinks they might have worked off the 16" sighting
turret was also auto fire, the guys usually dialed it in to match the specs and "a bunch of lights would blink" and the 5" would let it go

as we are talking, we are remembering more and more

ill fill in gaps when we get it squared away

This sounds closer.
The 5"/38 has separate train and elevation receiver regulators and separate train and elevation stations manned by separate operators.
The train receiver is in the forward starboard corner of the enclosure; the elevation receiver is forward to port.
Before the firing control solution is finalized, the turret is usually operated in manual mode. Once the solution is final, the train and elevation operators are ordered to "match up and shift to automatic". The operators match their pointers with the index on the dials in front of them and hit the switch. The gun is now in automatic mode.
The firing control solution could originate at either the gun control director (usually with radar and for air or surface targets) or the gun control computer (shore targets). The gun control computer could generate solutions for both the 16" and 5" turrets, but the 16" gun did not generate sighting information for the 5" turret.
Once in auto mode, the turret follows the gun control order automatically.

This is such a powerful photo. It was taken in April, 1945, by Major Clarence Benjamin and shows a train of Jewish prisoners that had been intercepted by Allied Forces. This is the moment they learned that the train would not be heading to a Concentration Camp and they had been liberated.

AOC and the rest of the Socialists aren’t denying the Holocaust that killed 18 million, they just conveniently ignore the 100 plus million killed by Socialists and Communists. It is estimated that Lenin alone killed 60 million not to mention Mao, Pol Pot, the Kims, Ho Chi Minh etc.
