"IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. (Oct. 19, 2018) –  A restored World War I era gun presides over the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) grand finale celebration of the NSWC Dahlgren Division centennial. ""The first shot of the new base was fired from a seven-inch, 45-caliber, tractor-mounted gun, just like the one over there,"" said Capt. Godfrey 'Gus' Weekes, NSWCDD commanding officer, while pointing to the century-old gun on display. Since that shot was fired on Oct. 16, 1918, Dahlgren scientists and engineers rose to the occasion time and again to provide the Navy with innovative solutions based on their technical capability to integrate sensors, weapons, and associated weapon and combat systems into surface ships and vehicles."
