Interesting photos. I hadn't realized that the 1.1 mounts had a slewing feature. This would be useful at very high elevation where small corrections would otherwise require very large rotations. This in practice may or may not have proved useful as it doesn't seem to have been duplicated in other USN weapons.

Thanks, Pascal - I have those photos from the BB-55 website - they all help, but having readable drawings is what I'm lacking at this point. I may be able to enlarge the plan drawings I have in my FLETCHER Plan Book but haven't looked into that as yet.
