Thanks Noel! for the link to this excellent web site. Did you notice what was stencilled on the ammo can holder for the twin .50? FDNY: Fire Department of New York. A little payback for Sept. 11th, I imagine. It was interesting to see the quad .50 mounted on the USS Lexington, I didn't realize they had been mounted on Navy vessels. I was onboard the "Lady Lex", which has been preserved in Corpus Christi, a few years back but the quad mount was no more.
