Yeah. On those AA guns, when I was twelve years old we visited the North Carolina and the most fun I had was when I and my brother operated the 40mm Quad mounts. One of us manning the elevation and the other the traverse. That and playing with the 20mm mounts along the bow of the ship. Seeing the breeches to the 16" guns inside the turrets was impressive but ... you, as a visitor, couldn't rotate those turrets and elevate the guns. So - yes - the AA guns were the most fun as you could literally PLAY with those. .
