There have come up some new drawings on Navweps (Probably seen before...or not):

5"


Mark 24 Mod 6 Mounting
This was a power-worked pedestal mounting used on destroyers. Note the Fuze setting mechanism on the left side of the mount, a common feature on pedestal mounts


Mark 30 Mod 8 Mounting
This was a power-worked base ring mount without shield used on destroyers and auxiliaries. Compare this mounting to the Mark 24 and note the ammunition hoists and the resulting wider base needed to accommodate them.


Mark 30 Mod 18 Mounting
This was a power operated base ring mounting used on destroyers and some auxiliaries.


Mark 30 Mod 51 Mounting
A simplified base ring mounting without the ammunition hoists. Used on some auxiliaries. Note that the gun axis is the same height above the weather deck in all Mark 30 mountings.
