Fire Control Technician

[Margaret Diann]

Fire Control Technician - What does this job entail?

My father was a Chief in the Navy
and my mother told me he was a Fire Control Technician.

He was in WWII and I was born at the end of the war.
(I'm in the baby boomer group!)

When he retired he worked for Mare Island Naval Shipyard
in San Francisco area (?) Most likely with the same skills (until @ 1975)
