USS North Carolina (BB-55)

[David Latuch]

The AA fit changed considerably on all the USN surface combatants throughout the years (but especially on the BB-55 class...) so I wouldn't expect to get it absolutely "perfect"... each refit added and subtracted various guns in different places.

I fully agree for the "perfect", BUT:

Despite numerous modifications AA, we can draw some MAJOR PERIODS, for the North-Carolina BB's such as:
- as comissionned (spring 1941), whithout radar & with 4 quadruples 1,1" AA, a dozens of 0,5" MGs
- by february/september 1942, with radars, camo, & numerous 20mm guns.
- maybe during mid 1943 ?
- mid 1944 refit
- postwar (1946), training-ship (with less AA guns)

I also agree but where do I place the 50cals in the gunpans the 20mms are presently using and delete the unprotected guns? The critique is all fine and good but some direction would conplete the issue, don't you think?

navsource images cannot be image tagged. you need to right click these 'image' s and then 'watch image' or something like that (differs per browser and I am looking it up in dutch)

My last comments on your thread
(you do not seem serious)
You have to study precisely this class of ship and its history
alas, you continue to make very huge historical-mistakes

[David Latuch]
