Gentlemen:

I'm seeking some general infor. on Ron 10.

1. Did Ron 10 form its squadron up at Tulagi after arriving there fro Nooumea? Is so when did all the boats arrive at Tulagi?

2. Did all of Ron 10's boats stay at Rendova or did then move to lever Harbor? Is it possible they were split up for a while?

3. I noticed in one of the messages with a photobucket attached that the 174 boat had its 40 mm mounted forword and not aft. was that typical of the Ron 10 boats?

4. When did Ron 10 begin to mount radar in those boats not supplied it from the manufacture?

Thanks

No, the 174's 40-mm gun was not a typical mounting of the Ron 10 boats. In fact, the shielded 40-mm gun which was seen in photos of her in the states was removed before the Ron's deployment to the Solomons.

Once there, her skipper noted that her foredeck was reinforced. He decided to put another 40-mm there and that gun's shield was manufactured by the crew on the tender ARGONNE ...
