  1. Excellent video. Maybe there should be a series of BuOrd misfires covering the Mk 13 and 1.1". Seems that the 5/38 was the only decent product to come out of BuOrd in the 30s, maybe because it was developed from the 5/51 and 5/25, or maybe because it's simpler thus harder to mess up. The response of BuOrd to reports of it's products failing reminds me of the management of a couple companies I used to work for. One, a major electronics retailer, never adopted to the changing market environment. Anyone who tried to tell the CEO the market had changed was shouted down with "I've been in this business 40 years and I know everything". While the company changed CEOs several times over the next 20 years, they made sure to only hire CEOs that had the same attitude. The company went bankrupt in 2015.
