Title not stated in source
The deletion date is not stated. June 30, 1945 is the publication date of Change 2, which contains the deletion table, not an established effective date for deleting SSN 602.
- The table does not state the deleted specialty’s title or describe its duties.
Source extraction notes
Appendix I deletes SSN 602 but provides no explicit SSN successor code. Printed directive: "Use appropriate gun-crewman." No paragraph reference, ASTP symbol, or generic gun-crewman instruction was inferred into the SSN namespace. The table does not print the deleted specialty title, so the neutral title placeholder is used. The row-level deletion date is unstated. The citation dates Change 2 to 30 June 1945; that publication date is not an effective deletion date.
