You can get them this way??? Wow, it looks like I need to find time to
check out the local Federal building. I want to get the Data Systems
Technician manuals.

Well the current DS ones as of a couple of years ago had info on core

but I doubt it. For one thing, I'm not sure the Navy still has any guns
larger than 76mm. If they do, they are RARE!
