I remember conducting gun fire support training in Puerto Rico back in '86. I was on a Spruance with two 5" guns that worked on and off. We struggled to get our rounds off but a FFG-7 behind us recked the place with a single 3" Otto Melara. She was firing about 2 rounds per second and hitting everything.
