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 mount was designed specifically for fast battleships and was mounted on ships of the North Carolina-class, South Dakota-class, and Iowa-class.  The identically dimensioned Mark 28 Mod.1 Mount was likely the type fit to early Atlanta-class cruisers.
