A US Navy Issued NAVPERS 10111 "The 5"/38 Gun" Manual in good condition overall. NAVPERS 10111: The 5"/38 Caliber Gun is an official U.S. Navy training and reference manual (first published in 1965) that details the operation, maintenance, and mechanics of the 5-inch/38-caliber dual-purpose gun. This weapon was the standard, most widely produced naval gun used on U.S. destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and carriers. The manual was designed to train enlisted personnel and covers several major components of the weapons system: Gun Mount (Mark 30): Details gun assemblies, breech and firing mechanisms, recoil systems, sights, and operational casualties. Rammer: Covers the theory of operation for the mount rammer (Northern Pump Company type) used to load ammunition. Projectile Hoist (Mark 2): Provides instructions for the removal, disassembly, and adjustment of the hoist and control unit. Known for being highly practical, the book breaks down technical gunnery information using a mix of photographs, diagrams, and cartoon-style illustrations to make the complex machinery easier for new recruits to understand.
