    Somebody said in the Kosovo War a master chief on a US cruiser made 55 strikes on Kosovo targets. They said they were FULL ten bagger powder bag load on a 10 inch cannons.

    These are very dangerous loads worth the risk to life. How do I add up manhood?

    The logic is the cannon lock up arm is called Full "lock set lock fire control" staged trigger. Control position is the triggering.


    I doubt that story was real.

    #1, The US Navy did not have any 10" guns on any ship after WWII.
    #2, I can not find any source that indicates any US Naval Gunfire
    Support was used during Operation Allied Force in 1999.
