23. 5 inch gun
This was unquestionably the finest Dual Purpose gun of World War II.
These guns were hand-loaded, but power-rammed, which gave them a high rate of fire and a capability of being easily loaded at any angle of elevation, both of which are highly desirable qualities for an anti-aircraft weapon.
Millions of rounds of ammunition were produced for these guns, with over 720,000 rounds still remaining in Navy storage depots today.
