ANNEX B
FIRE CONTROL
1. General
a. Terrain. The height of cliff lines has made possible
the use of dug-in type observation stations in most cases.
Towers were used only in the wooded areas. Fire control sites
have enough height of site to make use of DPF's.
b. Visibility. Weather conditions permit the use of
visual instruments normally at ranges of approximately fifteen
thousand yards.
c. Radar. Small islands and mountainous terrain made
necessary the locating of surveillance radar some distance from
the Harbor Defense Command Post. The battery radars were located
near the batteries. The radars seaward operation not being
impaired by landmask.
2. Orientation Data.
a. Surveys for the Harbor Defense were made by the
Harbor Defense troops using the USC and GS net for a basis. The
grid used is the Special Lambert Projection and is placed on all
exhibits of Annex B. All azimuths are given from grid south.
b. Coordinates of Elements of the Harbor Defense.
