Default Re: US Navy question

The ROF for the 5"/45 and 5"/62 were listed the same in the sources I found. The game standard ROF for 127mm artillery is 7, it was increased to 8 to represent the automated feed systems used by naval vessels.

5-inch-gun 54/62 Caliber Guns

Developed as a lighter weight, more easily maintained replacement for the 5in/54 caliber gun mount. It is designed to engage surface and air targets and to provide naval surface fire support for expeditionary operations. The MK 45 Mod 4 gun mount upgrade includes a longer barrel (62 caliber) that improves the guns effectiveness as a land attack/naval surface fire support weapon.

The gun mount includes a 20 round automatic loader drum. The gun's maximum firing rate is 16-20 rounds from the loader drum per minute.

Range: 13 nautical miles (14.9 statute miles) with conventional ammunition.
Type Fire: 16-20 rounds per minute automatic, conventional ammunition.
