RN:
RFA Argus and HMS Medway are currently in the Caribbean as a precaution against possible natural disasters in the region this year, in order to render aid to affected communities. The Caribbean is home to a number of British overseas territories (The Turks and Caicos, Montserrat, Anguilla, The British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands), a number of Commonwealth Realms and Commonwealth Republics and the overseas territories of two of Britain’s closest neighbours, the Netherlands and France. Argus and Medway have spent the last few months around the region, exercising with allies and showing the flag.

On 21 September 1916, Michigan blew out her left hand gun in turret No. 2 during target practice. One man was injured by a piece of debris. After an investigation of South Carolina's guns it was discovered that copper deposits from the driving bands on the projectiles had narrowed the bores of the barrel enough that it caused the projectiles to slow down. This problem, known as "copper choke", allowed the pressure in the barrel to increase to dangerous levels. Lapping heads, to remove these deposits, were issued for all guns 12-inch and larger throughout the fleet. The lapping heads were later replaced by wire and pisaba brushes.
