Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): Targets of the Big Guns; Caption: These are some of the targets at which the United States battleships fire when they try out their guns
extracted text (Extract Text): BOOM! The great guns are firing. As
the smoke rises and the rumbling echo
rolls away, the sailors watch eagerly.
Did they hit the target? From the deck of
the battleship the targets look like tiny
black patches with white spots in the
middle. But a close-up view is quite
different, as you see in the picture below.
On target No. 175 three hits are plainly
seen. The numberless target next to it
boasts of three patches that cover up holes
made in an earlier test.
