Good afternoon guys.
I had some troubles to place the currently listed weapons of a SBG. I am able to place correctly both the torpedo tubes and the 3 inch gun. But in the drawings, I didn´t saw the 6 pounder guns, nor the twin Oerlikons. Instead, I found a single barrel automatic cannon (maybe pom-pom), 2 twin machine guns (maybe Vickers) and a single Oerlikon in the extreme forward edge of the bow. Any aid will be very welcome. Thanks and cheers.
Oh! An attack of mild dyslexia! I mean SGB (like the Gray Goose), a steam turbine torpedo gunboat, very nice but far of being as successful as the motor boats. My appologies!

I think you should just have wrote "Steam gun boat" instead of SGB, since it's quit an old term, and not everybody are an "certified" expert on historical British military equipment.
you are also talking about an drawing, it would help us to see that drawing, so we can help you out, since the exist many variants on them

I would say that, since this is a class of many ships/boats: I think it carry a 3" or either a 6 pounder in the place of the 3". They just haven't written it in a 100% correct way.
For if it was to carry a 6 pounder, together with everything, it would be quit a overloaded boat.
