These AA tub/gun things they designed were made so that anywhere they could find space (or build it on a sponson or something) they could simply lay out the area in chalk on the deck and weld the tub gun assembly into that if space allowed.

I got the distinct impression that they decided early on that the risk of being bombed was greater than the risk of capsizing!

That’s a fascinating way to look at it. Certainly wise to assess risk on a relative basis on some cases.

Very good point.
