Thank you Ed. Appreciate your comments.
I hope you are correct because this is pretty much the number of guns I intend to go ahead with....
Their placement is still a mystery to me. One on each corner of the flight deck would makes sense except those forward platforms, even though reasonable large, were already carrying 24” ( most likely ) or even 36” searchlights. So placing machine gun in near proximity seems unlikely.
I see their location more likely further back towards amidships and the other pair probably on side platforms at the very end of her flight deck.
Still why do I feel like I’m creating my own facts...
