[StartQuote] Guys; I have read and seen all kinds of info on this mount. The date on the above photo is correct, Dec 1942, and the original mount was mounted by ELCO. However, I have also read this mount was removed sometime prior to shipment on the Stanvac Manila, and because of 174's strengthened bow a 40mm was re installed upon arrival at Tulagi. maybe an Army model(I think there was a diffenence? am I right Wayne??) as on PT 59???? This is uinderstandable since they did this even with torpedo tubes in the early days. Looking back on it though, I am sure in those early days at Rendova and Green Island, LT. Russell Rome's crew would have enjoyed the ammo capacity of the original shielding that ELCO installed. Take care, TED [EndQuote]
