It looks like one of the crew may have the swine flu or a Michael Jackson look alike contest is about to begin.

"Note flash-protection clothing worn by the men, 1.1" quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun mount in left center, 5"/38 guns beyond, and depth charges on "K-gun" throwers by the main deck edge."

Different models maybe - the British version seen here:

USS San Juan (CL-54), it is

..............



Crewmen at general quarters, while the ship was at sea, circa 1942. View looks aft from the after superstructure.
Note flash-protection clothing worn by the men, 1.1" quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun mount in left center, 5"/38 guns beyond, and depth charges on "K-gun" throwers by the main deck edge.

Status: offline 		The Atlantas had depth charges and sonar. The Japs put depth charges on HEAVY cruisers (and carriers, for that matter).

The British pom-poms were 2pdr/40mm. The ones in Robert's picture are .50cal MG's, though.

The guns in Brady's pic ARE 1.1in; you can tell by the arrangement of barrels (four in a row, rather than two by two, as in a quad Bofors installation).

Golly, not sure. Could be Anti-Tank DCs, maybe Anti-Air DCs. Not sure.

Sorry, Nik just sent me a note. They are anti Goa'uld Deathglider weapons. Sorry for the confusion.

Actually, just now recalled that there WERE anti-tank DCs - used by TBFs in North Africa invasion against French armor!

But they were not on ship mounts, though.
