[StartQuote] Kurt, If you're going to say I said something, be accurate about what you claim I said. This is what I wrote: "Of the Mediterranean ELCOs (PT 552-563), four boats (PT 556-559) mounted the quad 20mm THUNDERBOLT aft, while the rest appear to have mounted a 40mm MK3 aft. Interestingly, Friedman cites an OPNAV directive ordering the RON 29 boats to be completed with the following gun armament: PT 552-555 - one 20mm MK10 aft, two twin MK17 .50 cal. mounts, one 20mm MK14 forward PT 556-559 - one THUNDERBOLT mount aft, two twin MK17 .50 cal. mounts, one 20mm MK14 forward PT 560-563 - one 40mm MK3 mount aft, two twin MK17 .50 cal. mounts, one 40mm MK3 forward While I have seen photos of the first two configurations, I have not seen any photos of the third."
