This is the complete alphabetical subject index to Naval Ordnance and Gunnery, Volume 1 (NavPers 10797-A, 1957). Each reference is an article number — the chapter, a section letter, and the article. For example, 4A9 means Chapter 4, Section A, Article 9, and a range such as 3D1–3D11 spans articles 1 through 11 of Chapter 3, Section D. A reference written p. or pp. is a page number. Click any reference to open Volume 1 in the PDF reader at that chapter and section (opens in a new tab) — then scroll to the exact article. Or browse the whole book here: Naval Ordnance and Gunnery, Volume 1.
