3"/50 Mk 19 Deck Gun

3"/50 Mk 19 Deck Gun Set

As the American Fleet entered WW2, the standard deck gun for the US Submarine was the 3"/50 Wet mount. Some of the subs carried the Mk19 mount, while some of  the older units were left to fight with the Mk11 (coming soon), an identical gun with a shorter pedestal. This gun was the standard gun issued to the new build Gato classes as they entered the war, and gun can be mounted on the Revell GATO class submarine right out of the box, as several boats retained these guns while the fairwaters were reduced due to a shortage of suitable 4" and 5" guns.. Some later boats were also issued this gun for work ups before reaching the war zone, due to a shortage of suitable guns until late 1944 finally retired the Mk19 from everything but the Atlantic Fleet training boats.
