Let me take this thread in a third direction...I was on the USS North Carolina last week with my family. Good times! I took a lot of photos of the 40mms (in quad layout) because my wife's grandfather manned them on the USS Atlanta (CL-104) in the Pacific. I also snapped a lot of photos of the 20mm's because of the different 20mm mounts used on the deck - didn't know if anyone ever needed detailed modern photos of them. Dick detailed the different mounts to me when he did the boat diagrams but it was hard to find detailed period photos of the mounts.

Jim'
Would love to see photos of the mounts and others you might be willing to share. I think the Battle Wagons, Cruisers, and destroyers are very neat. I have a beautiful model of a Fletcher Class Destroyer that I has been at Stan's for a long time. As I channel all of my extra money (when I have any extra money) on the PT BOATS, it leaves me little for other things that i love, such as these other Ships of WWII.........................

No, not on the Board, but I run the Living History Crew on the NORTH CAROLINA. In fact, we were doing our program there on December 3rd.
