Hi David,

I don't think anybody would argue with the results!

Thanks . . . I'm still plugging away at her. Heuhen gave me a very good link to NavSource that shows North Carolina with rafts attached to her superstructure and turrets just after her commissioning. Guess I'll have to add them.

To be honest . . . I didn't know I was, theparts sheet merely stated "Early open mount". If they're 3"/55s they'll have to go. does anuone have a drawing of a USN 1.1"/75 (28 mm) Mark 1 gun in a quad mount?

There's a newer Oerlikon on the USN parts sheet

“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.
