Dan....it is correct that her 76mm Otto Malara pop gun can elevate to 85 degrees, but have only ever seen this when a mount was changed out from an HMA frigate
The 85 degrees is actually a design facility to allow the transportation of the whole mount [without the lower rotating magazine] on a roar trailer in the near horizontal axis
Essentially an unmanned gun, [do not remember her maximum
operational elevation].......but the rate of fire is very impressive and
LOUD The mounts arc of train on this class of vessel would have been greater than 200 degrees inclusive, and at sea [with the Jackstaff lowered
] would have unlimited pointing zones within this arc
Search the Wikki people ....many images of these mounts ...plenty of alternate elevations shown.....zero to fifteen degrees looks most impressive..
An ACTion P96 servo morph
would facilitate and control the gun mounts train position end points and also speed of train............. Derek
