Could shell guidance survive firing acceleration?

Could guidance equipment survive firing from a 16-inch gun?

Firing acceleration is a real obstacle; earlier research might help, but a workable system is still judged probably too early.

Guidance equipment inside a large shell must survive the acceleration of firing. That is accepted as an obstacle to the proposed guided ammunition. Earlier demand could encourage research, but it remains uncertain whether engineers would solve the problem in time. Successful guidance is judged probably too early for the period under discussion.
