It's a smoke screen generator. Yes, it can be removed. ![[ img ]](http://www.hnsa.org/doc/pt/know/img/front.jpg)

Another Question (just gonna warn you, there's gonna be a lot of these). Would it be possible to remove the torpedo tubes and replace them with Harpoons, or more likely, SS-N-25's? |

OK then, Are there any modern manually operated cannon that are above 30mm? Basically I'm looking for a modern equivalent of the 40mm Bofors. |

Remove torpedo tubes: no problemo. Replace them with Harpoons or 25': You talk about Elco, wooden-hulled craft from late 30'. You can answer yourself.

I agree with Rhade There's a small chance that penguins or Gabriels could fit or work but even they are a stretch though they were fitted to similar sized boats For the 30mm question nothing above 30mm and not bofors that's manual was operated by western navies that IRRC but I may be wrong there are however lots of good 30mm and below cannons Edit a quick google search got me to remember about the very capable and widely used 35mm Oerlikon |

What do ya think about a couple of 25mm Typhoons, a couple of 40mm Grenade Launchers, and maybe a Stinger or Mistral? EDIT: Maybe throw a 40mm Bofors in there for good measure. |

About cannon, modern equivalent of Bofors 40 mm is ... Bofors 40 mm.  This is still a wonderful weapon use on land, air and sea.
