Mark,

I had the radar on the 12 mile range scale and when a broadside of all nine 16" guns was delivered the PPI (radar screen) would be 1/4 clouded! I think I would rather have been in after stearing than on the bridge. The only thing worse than being within five miles of BB-62 when she was firing was when I was on the Cua Viet River at the DMZ and a plane dropped cluster bombs about three miles north of us. I thought the concusion was going to kill me.

Harry
