Weapons and Air Ordnance

t

WeaponsMaintenance Party

The reduction in armament in CENTAUR, since she-.was first commissioned, has done little to curb theenthusiasm of the gunnery world. During the Far Eastleg of the Commission, the gun crews were exercisedre g ularly and a large amount of "break-up" shot wasfired at our own aircraft, or any other that happened tobe passing. While patrolling off Indonesia, functioningfirings were carried out nightly.

At Dar-es-Salaam an enormous amount of work wasput in by the gunners, weapons maintenance and airexplosives parties; sorting and humping ammunition;servicin g newly issued small arms, and recognitioncame when the gunner's yeoman, A. B. Harris, won acommendation from the Commander-in-Chief, MiddleEast.

One set of well-used armament is the saluting guns.

Air Explosives and Air Ordnance

These guns, of 1897 vintage, ably manned by the airexplosive party are still going strong and have fired atotal of 335 rounds this Commission. About one-thirdof these were expended during the visit to Istanbul.

The weapons maintenance party football standproved to be a great success amongst the children ofMadras, Singapore, Hong Kong, Naples and Istanbul,and the number of heads that have been knocked offPixie and Dixie have proved the football potential ofthese children.

The Commission has been an enjoyable one in manyways and we hope that many of the younger ratings willhave benefited from their training in CENTAUR andcan all be proud of having served in a most efficientand happy ship to which the gunnery parties have con-tributed no mean part.
