16″/50 Gun Jump

This page reproduces the gun jump data from Ordnance Pamphlet 1100. Gun jump accompanies all USN range tables for the gun the tables are computed for.

Gun jump for the 16″/50 is minus 9.7 minutes of angle less than the angle of elevation. This was taken into account in computing the OP-1100 range tables, so no corrections are necessary.
