Check Firing and Cancel Check Firing

CHECK FIRING:  Anyone can command CHECK FIRING when an unsafe situation becomes apparent. This command causes the ship to instantly stop firing.

CANCEL CHECK FIRING:  The originator of check firing must announce CANCEL CHECK FIRING for the fire mission to continue.

At the third transmission panel, a check box for check firing is displayed. If required to check fire, click the check box, then transmit. Guns belonging to the current Naval gunfire mission will hold fire. The checkbox of Check Fire consists of three states. If the check box consists of a block, it specifies no setting. A check mark would specify CHECK FIRE and a blank box would specify CANCEL CHECK FIRE.
