Did IJN mount those 40 mm Bofors on their aircraft carrier? If yes, when? To me, it look like 40 mm Bofors in IJN aircraft carrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

245 [BRU] Mingfang47 Member 2,725 posts Report post #4 Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Found it, it's from Zuikaku. Let's assume it's 25mm Type 96 with conventional-designed gun shield. She doesn't even have 40mm AA in the records. Edited July 14, 2017 by Mingfang47 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
