Each ship must establish a procedure for rapid and continuous evaluation of the results of firing. Observations of air spotters should go further than the standard spotting terms so as to include a description of the results. In addition to recording this data, when air spotters return to their ships they should be interviewed concerning the results of firing. ¥ (b) Report willbe made to CTF 52 of the results of firing at each target, or group of targets close together, upon the com pletion of firing at such target or group if the* ship then has adequate information on which to Ibase such report. Ifit is not practicable to make soundly evaluated reports during the firing, reports shall be made as soon as practicable after the comple tion of a shedulod firing period. Reports of noteworthy events and the general conduct of night harassment willbe made each morning by the senior Fire Support Group officer remaining at the objective overnight.

Accurate, conservative reports are desired. Strong evidence must be at hand to justify a report of destruction. Iftxere observation is unable to determine » actual hits or destruction the report should include informa tion to assist CTF 52 in estimation of probable results.
