Among naval historians, the US Navy 5"/38 caliber gun is considered the best intermediate-caliber, dual purpose naval gun of World War II. Unlike later lighter-weight marks intended for aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers, the 76-ton "Mark 28" version of the twin-gun mount was designed specifically for fast battleships and was mounted on ships of the North Carolina-Class, South-Dakota Class, and Iowa-Class. This mark was externally identical to the type mounted to early Atlanta-class light cruisers.  Ten of these mounts were fit to USS North Carolina BB-55 and USS Washington BB-56.

Features:

detailed armored viewfinder and rangefinder hoods
