[edit] Asessment

Large, organised with pictures and tables. Worthy of a B, though barely since it lacks bibliography and references. If this gun was on Fletcher-class destroyers it served then with the Hellenic and Turkish navy well into the 1990's. I'll check this out later Ikokki 11:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title?

Should the metric conversion really be in the title of the article?

It's one of the least wise/intelligent/appropriate things I've seen on Wikipedia, but I didn't want to offend anybody by changing it all by myself. IMHO we should get rid of the "(127 mm)". Lou Sander 20:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I noted it a while ago as well, and I thought the name was a bit as silly as changing Otobreda 76 mm to Otobreda 76 mm (3 inch). There was lengthy discussion (that I didn't notice until it was over) at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ships/Archive04#Gun_article_names. You may want to reread that before changing the name, or bring up the question to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ships since they have discussed it before. --Dual Freq 21:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
