And I know you don't know the answer,I'm assuming this is a story you heard. If they are within 100yds first round why are they walking rounds closer? Its a waste of ammo. They have effect on target.
And depending on the range PE will have you chasing rounds trying for that elusive "Bullseye"
If you are citing, or just thinking of a gunnery exercise at San Clemente, Subic Bay or Viegas it isn't a good example of real world shooting. Even though ships of every size screw it up all the time. 
It is a "Canned" exercise. More useful in getting everyone talking and crews getting the kinks worked out and drill down pat.
Not sure what you mean by "For accuracy"? Are you wanting me to scrape those barnacles off the braincells and give you the "Standards" to be certified for deployment? Or are you wanting a "How close do they have to come to the target?" or "How many rounds/How much time do they have to achieve that standard?" |
* GG, If a 16"/50 round can estimately blow a hole in the ground 20'x 50' (pending the round) and you came within 100 yards of being on target would "effect" negate wanting the target destroyed or in this case would they have walk even closer to certify target destroyed?
I do know that the firing range is as you say a canned exercise and more or less for training purposes. I did not know that alot of ships screw it up.

If possible could you post the second part the "How".
