By the Battle of the Coral Sea they are no longer present

October 41: At the Coral Sea (May, 42)

I blew up the Coral Sea picture about 3x. I’m not posting it for two reasons - don’t want to hurt those on slower connections, and two, the quality is terrible.

But it looks like to me like the forward mount is present, and aimed outboard to a point just forward of the photographer. I can see the mount behind it, but can’t see the tubes. It may be aimed across the deck.

Those with better eyes should have at it.
