From an OSD (PA&E) report entitled "Retaining Battleships", dated 20 November 1990 :

(emphasis added)

Quote:
page 5 : All the powder bags have been reweighed, reworked and repacked, because deterioration of the powder was one of the greatest problems with accuracy in the early 1980s (a problem discovered after New Jersey's disappointing accuracy in Lebanon).
OSD = Office of the Secretary of Defense

PA&E = Program Analysis & Evaluation (see here).
