I was an FTM (used to be called Fire Control, Missiles) on CG-17, USS H.E. Yarnell). I'll have to get my old super 8 films converted over to DVD or something and post them here eventually. We had the same Terrier system with the 55B radar. I have some pretty good gun and missile firings from the 70's. One gun firing at night lights up the whole gun crew on the 3" 50's on the starboard side.

@SO17Alpha Not positive but sometimes, in the interest of keeping the missile on target, the ship may not be able to ride into a wave as it normally would and as a result pitch and roll rate may increase.
