Though not on this particular destroyer escort. And they used them for anti-aircraft when needed.

Hiya, Navyson and all!

Seems that we are doing the anti-aircraft bit… your offering is the German 12.8cm FlaK 40 Zwilling. There is one on display at the Ordanance Musuem: http://ordmusfound.org/flak40.html

Looks like the “Little David”, an American 36 inch (914 mm) mortar, my dear Mr. Malarz Russ. :slight_smile:

Little David was employed as a bomb projector, for the purpose of testing bomb designs without the need for tying up a crew,and aircraft to drop them. Later was given over to tactical use, just dont remember what.

If that’s the case, wasn’t I supposed to get the next pic choice? I’ll let it slide, this time, because it’s you guys. :mrgreen:

An teh on noes! Librarian and Malarz are here!!! :mrgreen:

Mr Librarian got to the cannon before I did, but let’s hope his next photo will be a puzzling one…

Hopefully, it will be, my dear Mr. Wingsofwrath! :wink:

And so, here it is:

As usually, correct type identification will be your task, honorable ladies and gentlemen.
