I asked because it wasn't unusual to plate over this type of gun emplacement as generally they were of very little use in anything other than calm weather. On the Varyag, these guns were in the wardroom. In the stowed position, the glass windows were closed with steel folding shutters. mtaylor, bruce d, scrubbyj427 and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipman Posted March 20, 2022 Share #727 Posted March 20, 2022 You and your model are the nearest I'll ever get to having a friend in Ukraine.
