1. I used the 533 tbues from my template by mistake. its also a double bank. Imagine two sets of quads one above the other. Previous ships had stacked duples, this takes it a bit further.

2. Its in between the second funnel and aft superstructure. Eight x 430mm projectors grouped together firing 100kg DCs into a twin diamond pattern. It fires to the side. Make contact, hard to port when in range and let rip into the target area. Its been around for some years now.

The 152mm guns are simmed as automatics (which add 25% weight) but written in the report as Dual Purpose guns because they aren't autos.

There were also questions when it was introduced as well.

the first anti-submarine weapons were ahead-throwing.
The Brits experimented with mortars from the trenches, they got up to 7.5" and 11" howitzer shells. They were on an interesting experimental track, but the ash-can with a depth setting was much, much cheaper. No money was available inter-war, extremely unfortunately, to continue the experiments..Discovery of how bad lost contact between
asdic and depth-charge and sub was to be was only discovered drastically in the early war years. Typical democracy at peace always leads to lots of early death in war. But the designs existed..witness the ahead-throwing weapons on "Tishy's Ghost".
