5"/54. That replaced the 5"/38 the Navy and CG used since the days of
coal fired ships. The extra barrel length increased the range about
5000 meters and that gun is auto loading. It also has a much better
fire control system.

Radar controlled and pitch/roll compensated I assume? What is the
firing rate?
