A U.S. Navy ship caught in a storm. Later, sailors prepare a deck gun for firing
An American ship being pummeled by wind and wave in a storm at sea. Next, sailors are seen preparing to fire a 4-inch / 50 caliber Mark 9 deck gun mounted near the ship's stern.. The sailors work on the gun, while an Officer holding a log book, of sorts, observes. The sailors raise the gun barrel and rotate it to starboard. They ram a shell into the breech, and rapidly close it. (The breech is equipped with an Ausbury mechanism for rapid opening and closing.) They continue to open and close the breech, loading multiple powder charges. Closeup from a different viewpoint of the gunners loading the gun, as a sailor at the gun maneuvering controls elevates the barrel with a hand crank
