Ted,

I'm aware that some of the 80' Elcos had their rear cockpit armor removed, for the reasons you mentioned as well as a weight-saving measure (one of many).

My point was that many of the boats retained the rear cockpit armor -- didn't have it removed -- and you can see examples of this in photos of all 80' Elcos throughout the war, from Guadalcanal back to the Philippines.

C.J.,

Would you mind contacting me by email? I have something I want to send you regarding that photo of your boat getting a new engine, photo 80 G 58532, posted above. Contact me at Gerald_Powell@baylor.edu

Thanks.
