[StartQuote] Frank, the Osprey book mentions that the ELCO 21" x 20' 8" Mk 18 Mod 1 tube was provided by ELCO but subcontracted out. This caused delays and some boats were turned over to the Navy for shakedown without the tubes installed. They were later returned and the tubes installed. Larger 22.5" tubes were developed but only installed on about 20 boats before the rollover racks were made standard. Google books has an excerpt: [url]http://books.google.com/books?id=X1AvTqSg2QsC&printsec=frontcover[/url] [EndQuote]
