Here is the Kriegsmarine IB Castor (2°) as in 1944.

Some concerns about the light AA suit

- Your MG look like the famous allied 20mm oerlikon, replace by the German 20mm mount.
- In this German ship, any more light AA gun by 1944 ? (= late in the war). Any more single/twin/quadruple 20mm, any 37 or 40mm gun :?:
:roll:

The original design was having 2 guns, till '44 was more devoted to clear harbor waters... Then the '45 version was armed much heavier: look at Vol. 6 of Groener.

Castor sunk on 03.1945 and was refloated in '46-47 and rebuilt during '50ties...Renamed Peresvet was used from '56 till 70ties; actually its relict is nearby Vladivostock.
Here is the 1957 version: picture is showing an un-armed version but it is so un-realistic...I added also an armed version
