These three models represent the US Navy's 5 inch, 38 caliber single mount.  This "Lightweight", or "Single Knuckle" version, was normally placed in locations where additional turret roof reinforcement was not required.  Fletcher-class destroyers, when built, carried three of these mounts, all located on top of deckhouses known as Mounts 52, 53 and 54.  

To complete a Fletcher-class destroyer model, you also need the two "Double Knuckle" mounts located on the main deck (Mounts 51 and 55).  Main deck "Double Knuckle" mounts of a slightly different shape are available separately.

Features: 
 an asymmetrical gunhouse (turret)
 slot for accurately offset gun barrel (barrels not included)
 detailed turret bottom supporting structure
 rear vent
