[StartQuote] There are photos in a couple of book that show the 490 and the 525 boats with MacArthur and in those you can see a .50 cal mounted along side the forward-most 20 mm. It looks like the have a curved ammo box holder to let them use the ammo boxes from the .50 cal turrets. I've not been able to find a photo of 2 .50s mounted. I also found a photo of 523 with a .30 cal in the rear "corner " of the cockpit, 1 on each side, but cannot see how they were mounted. Any insight you can provide would be most appreciated. Also, did the 493 (or others in Ron 33, carry depth charges? How many? exact location? Thanks, Ed [EndQuote]
