Lusitania had the 6 inch gun mounts installed in 1913.

The altered cargo manifest-——filed after the ship was at sea-—— includes the 6 million rounds of .303 ammo and 5,000 artillery rounds. The fuses for the three inchers were carried in separate boxes.

Should add that IIRC the rifle ammo was from the Eddystone plant.
