[edit] Type C personality

The infobox has the later boats fitted with 2x2pdr & up to 6 Oerlikons. Is this right? 6 Oerlikons sounds like an awful lot for a boat this size... Trekphiler (talk) 00:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

According to the text I have, yes. Twin .5 Vickers mounts (2 per boat) replaced by single or twin 20mm oerlikon, Holman projector (1 per boat) by a single/twin 20mm. As to how many boats any had the combination for any period of time.....?GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
