Quoted

The first of the Hunt class DD's were supposed to have 3 twin 4" AA. When they were putting the 3rd turret on the first ship, she leaned over rested on the fitting out dock wall. They quickly took it off again and found out that there was a boo-boo with the calculations.


...and probabably shortly therafter, there was an (ex-)naval designer in the unemployment line. o_O


As noted elsewhere, for a ~100mm gun I think 30mm shields are sufficent.
