Some detail on the armament of the earlier ship:
The 25x189 Gun
The gun is simply referred to as the ‘Vickers 25.4 mm’, presumably to distinguish it from the earlier Vickers 1 inch, although thereby causing confusion with the 25x95R round described above. It appears to have been developed in the early to mid-1930s specifically as a naval gun, and was only ever produced in a fixed twin mounting. I am unaware of any other application of this gun apart from ‘La Argentina’, which had six of these mountings. One gun (without mounting) still survives in the MoD Pattern Room at Leeds, and a mounting is on display outside a naval base in Argentina. The mountings were removed from ‘La Argentina’ in 1949 and replaced by six single 40mm Bofors mountings. There is a mystery concerning the ammunition production dates which will be referred to later.
More information:
Very unofficial Fleet Air Arm nickname for the Walrus; “Shagbat”.
However, unusually for a seaplane of its’ class and size, very very seaworthy, with reports being written of it happily surviving and riding-out twenty foot waves in storm conditions at sea.
From memory, there are only about 5 surviving worldwide, and none are airworthy.
Kindest Regards, Uyraell.
