In my time with Marine artillery, nothing would get my adrenaline flowing more than watching a gun crew go from smoking and joking (or playing PS3's) to running to their guns, getting them laid, and sending rounds down range in what seemed like 30 seconds (in the time for me to get my flak and Kevlar on for a measurement of time)...
My question: was there a time requirement for a turret, or gun crew, to go from nothing (perhaps with crewmen elsewhere on the ship) to getting to their guns, getting them loaded and sending them downrange?
Also was there a watch rotation for a gun crew to standby at their station?
