GUN MOUNT AMMUNITION UTILIZATION FEASIBILITY STUDY

Abstract

A compilation of current U. S. Army ammunition is presented which could be utilized as a basis for development for new Naval Gun Mounts. Current standard and developmental Army ammunition for guns, howitzers, mortars and recoilless rifles of caliber 75mm through 280mm is included. Army projectiles including fuze interchangeability and environmental considerations for Naval usage are tabulated. Conclusions are offered regarding the applicability of the ammunition to future Naval Gun Mount usage. Certain rounds requiring special security clearance are omitted from this compilation.
