You know, what % of shells would hit a stationary target from a stationary mount at set ranges? I am particularly looking for coastal guns in the 4"-6" calibre.

Also, I need penetration data for the following guns:
Russian 130mm/50 M36 naval gun firing PB46 SAP round (and any other AP rounds it may have)
Russian 152mm naval guns
American 155mmL36 M1918 used as coastal gun

What was the ship´s cruise speed?
2. How many troops could CVL carry if they had been used as troopships? Think of a hasty conversion removing avgas and machine shops, ammo and the ships crew are reduced to the levels needed to keep the ship sailing and man the AA-weapons and the hangar deck is filled with bunks, showers, mess halls and whatever esle is needed for a 8,500 mile trip. Any guess how many GIs/Marines a CVL could carry?

I have done some research but this gun mount is hard to find. I know it was used on the

Found a sighting telescope part to what appears to belong to a type of kriegsmarine gun or captured gun that I can not identify

Markings:

M/09 till 57 mm k.M/89B

Above these markings is N:r 71 and a crown
I can't find anything about a 57mm gun designated as M/09 or 89B.

Look forward to any help you can provide.

I´m new here and I´d like to ask a question:
Say its 1944 and the Allies are preparing for an amphibious invasion of Japan, when the Japanese are suddenly overcome by sanity and surrender. Now a lot of allied divisions need to be shipped to Europe. Japan -> Italy is 9000 nautical miles, Japan -> UK 13,000. A Liberty ship has a top speed of 11 knots, so say it can make 240 miles per day. That is 54 days to the UK and 38 to Italy assuming that average speed is... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MBecker01) http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/topic/9651 Wed, 27 May 2009 12:43:33 GMT http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/topic/9643/t/Rescue-Dawn.html Any help?

I've always wondered why the following differences exist between the firing of a big naval gun and a similar artillery gun on land.

1. Why is it necessary for naval gun crews to wear flash hoods and not necessary for similar crews firing land artillery ?

2. Why do naval guns require the insertion of powder bags as well as the shell while this is not done with ground-based artillery.
