However there was a land based mkI and MkII single mount for 10 rounds a minute.

So ideally a postwar single MkIII mount for 12-15 rounds a minute would be competitive with automatic 6". Especially if modified for shipboard use.

One might then go to full automation and water cooling to get 18-24 rpm.


Arguably this could benefit from Green Mace technology and be driven by a possible desire for Zeus with folding fins.


From there weight reduction would dominate any MkIV effort......


Could this in any way feed a Tank Destroyer gun using variant ammo?


Could this even see a NATO standard pushed by the UK for 133mm? Having the US resist in favour of the 5"?
