Title not stated in source
30 June 1945 is the publication date of Change 2, not an effective deletion date. The entry gives no deletion date, so 1945 cannot be established as the year the deletion took effect.
- The table does not state the specialty’s title or describe its duties.
Source extraction notes
Appendix I deletes SSN 883 but provides no explicit SSN successor code. Printed directive: "Specialty obsolete, no substitute." 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.
