Additional Details:
They seem to be out for dress parade - these boys in their spotless white, but that isn't the limit to their range of activity - not by a long, long shot! Our gunners have earned the reputation of being the finest marksmen in the world. One of these turret crews, on the dreadnaught Texas, recently made 48 hits out of a possible 59, and another crew on the battleship Florida fired 58 shots from their 12-inch gun, and 54 of them were hits. Do you wonder that we say without fear of contradiction, that other navies willingly admit that we have in our United States Navy the greatest gunners in the world?
