 | Seaman Lawrence W. Overton loading magazines for his M-16 rifle from 5.56x45mm ammunition stripper clips, as he assumes the watch, May 1969. Harnett County was then operating on the Vam Co Dong River, Republic of Vietnam. Photographed by JOCS Ed Nelson. Credit: NAVY. |  | Lieutenant Robert S. Selby, USN, shoots the sun with a sextant, while standing in one of the ship's 40mm gun tubs, April 1945. The ship is in Tanapag Harbor, Saipan, with several PBM seaplanes moored in the distance. Photographed by Ensign Thomas Binford, USNR. Note 40mm gun barrels overhead, and ready-service ammunition racks around the gun tub perimeter, some empty and some containing four-round clips of 40mm ammunition. Credit: NAVY. |
 | Firing on board USS Hornet (CV-12), circa February 1945, probably during gunnery practice. The original picture caption identifies the photo as having been taken during Task Force 58's raid on Japan, 16 February 1945. However, helmetless members of the gun crew, and rolled up shirt sleeves, strongly indicate that the occasion was in warmer climes and not while in combat. View looks aft on the port side, with the carrier's port quarter 5"/38 guns just beyond the 40mm mount. Note ready-service ammunition and spent shell casings at right; men passing 4-round clips to loaders at left. Credit: NAVY. | ||
