[ARC5] ARB Modifications

[Mike Everette]

Did any WW2 battleship from any nation even mount 15 big guns?

I don't think any of the US ship carried more than 3 to a turret, and did any (maybe the Iowa class?) have more than 3 turrets?

Sure, it's still a lot of firepower.

But the only connection I note between battleships and ARBs is -- PERHAPS -- the receivers carried aboard the OS2U Kingfisher scout planes (that is, if they carried the ARB instead of the RU).

For those close enough, the USS North Carolina in Wilmington hosts periodic classes on such topics as the ship's propulsion/power systems, and the armament.  There may be a class in the works to cover the communications and radar, "coming soon."  These are all-day events, and are VERY well done.  Check out www.battleshipnc.com for details.
