  1. Wonder how many of those Mk 18 fuzes were recycled from WW1...

  2. This video could be subtitled "How gun design influenced ship design - and vice versa..."

  3. The whole point of the 5"/51 was heavier hitting power at longer range. Don't think the 4" could match that. Or are you proposing twin 4" replacing single 5"? The Standards had the 5"/51s in casement mounts, with the 5"/25s in open single mounts. Would the mount weights not be more? And finally, what "light AA" did they have in 1941 besides the quad 1.1"?
