The rumors of my demise are exaggerated

Yes, the poor, underrated, unappreciated and much overlooked 8" gun. It, too, needs some TLC which is why I used that one on the Myoko class.

And pretty effective when you've got sixty of 'em...

On the Agano's, why use both the 127 mm and the 105 mm gun? Seems a bit close in caliber to me...

Hmmm... I thought I opened the file with the 5"/75mm version (like the Rina class). Will correct it.

I thought there were going to be six ships in that case. Six 10x8" ships = 60 8" guns. (I wasn't counting the CAs already in the fleet.)

Eight ships in the class. Your losing your Mojo Brock!

I do like the fact that Walter is using historical names for his latest batch of warships respective of their class more or less.

Oh, I see. Apparently I saw 2+6 and thought "six!"

Two laid down this quarter, 4 more laid down in Q2 and two more to be laid down when there is space.

At least someone else loves the 8in CA. Ahh.

An excuse for me to return to the 8in concept and let saner heads prevail.

I think 8" are usefull too, more so than the 6"
