Deck gun, empty shells
Posted by: Johannes ()

Hello everybody,

could somebody please enlighten me on this point: I've just read here in the "technology" section that when the deck gun had been used, the used rounds were taken back below deck. Was this for administrative purposes, such as keeping tabs on how many rounds were fired ? I should have thought it would have been the easiest way just to let the empty shells drop into the sea, or was there a danger of something getting damaged by shells falling overboard?

Thanks in advance,

Johannes
