Please clarify the blue reversed boxes on the CRT that indicate Rapid Fire. For example, on the US Navy CRT, the range row for daylight 12,000 yds indicates that the US 6" gun down through the 4"-3" gun may rapid fire which jives with rule 1.6.8. Now explain why the range row for daylight 6000 yds is also blue reversed indicating rapid fire for those same guns. It seems that the rule is clear enough, any gun capable of rapid fire may do so at 12,000 yds or less. Why is the 6000 yds range boxes for the 6" down through the 4"-3" guns blue reversed as well.

Another clariying question is whether the absolute range for rapid fire(12,000 yds) is reduced at night to 6000 yds as is posssibly indicated when you use the night time ranges on the right side of the chart to determine hits or does the rapid fire range still extends to 12,000 yds even though the blue reversed boxes on the CRT indicate that at night, rapid fire is restricted to 6000 yds.

Thanks

Rapid fire applies to all ranges bands below the defined upper limit (in this case, 12000 yds). So, for example, you can use rapid fire when firing 5" guns at 6000 yds (or any range below 12000). The use of the 'reversed' prinitng is to indicate that the guns in question are capable of rapid fire at that given range band

For night actons, the Rapid Fire range limit remains at 12000 yds. The night scale applies only to the 'to hit' probabilities.
