This was my general quarters weapon and it was kept in the conning tower on the wall behind me.  Note that the clip has been removed because we had a sailor who went crazy one day and took this gun and opened fire in the officers quarter.  From then on the clips were removed from the guns and held by the captain.  Someone who went crazy aboard ship was called a 'psycho'.  That was my station for general sea duty and the place where I stood.
