[StartQuote] Hi Charlie, I probably wasn't clear. I understand that these were shipping and storage containers. But you did answer part of my question which is while in action did the crews pull the ammo from these cans or were they removed in advance and stored in RSL's for quick action. I have seen one boat where the 40mm ammo containers pictured above were stacked behind the 40mm horizontally and ammo was pulled from there and fed to the Bofors. In other photos I just see them tied on to whatever is handy probably because there's no better place to store them at the time. I'm really curious how crews would have stored 40mm ammo in these RSL's around the gun. Or did they? I know the later boats had 40mm ammo racks built in behind the gun as you mentioned. From a modeling perspective if I modeled a RSL open, how would the 40mm be stacked in there? Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
