I was thinking about the 5 inch guns on SLC and that there isn't any fire control station for them...I guess they didn't hit much!!??

Reading: Combined Fleet Decoded by John Prados. The jury is still out on this one. The subtitle is: "The Secret History of American Intelligence and the Japanese Navy in World War II", but most of what I have read so far is general knowledge, not too much on American Intelligence!

russ...

P.S. I'm not really a tracked vehicle kind of guy, but I was intrigued by the Japanese amphib with the torpedoes slung on it's side that was released as a kit a while back!

I believe the 5- inch guns were anti-aircraft and probably aimed by the gun captain.
