I have one set of bofors and one 16inch mount but not Iowa. Yeah. I didn't think about that when I made that post. Aside of ranking reward, one 16in freedom gun was available as reward in Winter 2016 E1H, while one Bofors was available as reward in Spring 2016 E3H.

Perhaps, as Devsquad74 suggested, player ship library check is much simpler and accurate way to prevent the abuse of deliberate scrapping/sinking/modfodding of a ship to farm for her equips... provided that said ship really remain in the library after she is gone from the player's inventory.

... Then again, those who are in the "accidentally doing it" side will still protest.
