Reports indicate naval gunnery set new marks during target practice by the battleship Nebraska at Manila Bay on November 12.

A newly designed towed target, a solid timber long cutter, simulates an enemy vessel with its weighted keel bottom and limited above water structure to ease shot impact and screen firing.
