Difficulty for some sailors is they are only Great with a 5inch Mounted gun, if they served on a destroyer... the weapon of choice for most of their training.




Of course they are pretty good with all sorts of other weapons...

Those are the 16inch 20 mile range Big Daddy guns on a Battle ship. There is no negotiating with them, strictly offense.

By contrast the 5inch reach was about 9 miles. Served to provide both a offensive reach and a defensive protection from air assault.

Both are extremely loud party favors.
