Its not a bad gun, just wish more could be brought to bear during amphibious operations. If LHD's still retained their guns (I believe all amphibs should have a 5in) I believe our ability to take a contested beach and fight inland wouldnt be so questionable. Naval guns is a lost art, go ask 2nd Anglico when's the last time they did a naval gun shoot.
