Talk:5inch Twin Gun Mount Mk.28 mod.2/@comment-25251863-20160503045330/@comment-26137911-20160503110949

I've seen a set of blueprints that compare the different twin 5"/38 mounts -- the Gearing mount is noticeably altered (and smaller) than the mounts on the Atlanta (and derivatives) and the BB secondaries. The weight differences are nothing to sneeze at either. They went all out to lighten the twin 5"/38s to fit them on DDs, from a peak of 78 tons in the Mark 28 Mod 2 to just 40 tons in the Mark 38
