Source extraction notes
Appendix I deletes SSN 603 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.
