DAHLGREN, Va. (Oct. 16, 1918) – On this date in Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) history, Marines supervised by Lt. Cmdr. H.K. Lewis successfully test fired an Army seven-inch, 45-caliber, tractor-mounted gun, marking the establishment of Dahlgren as a Naval Proving Ground on Oct. 16, 1918. Since that shot was fired, 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.
