The aircraft carrier is the Intrepid in NYC. You can cross-reference its aircraft here, so you can see they don't have an Israeli A-4. Either way, Israeli A-4s were armed with 30mm Adens rather than Mk 12s. --Funkychinaman (talk) 08:23, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
- Oh. Thanks. Didn't know about that. It looked like Israeli markings. Ominae (talk) 09:02, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
- The Israeli jet is a Kfir, which is supposed to have 30mm DEFAs. Considering these planes are kept in the open in NYC, I doubt they'd have any real cannons mounted at all. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:04, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
- I honestly don't think the cannons on the planes are worth documenting. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:14, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
- Me either. They're nothing more that background.And yeah, there's no A-4--Mandolin (talk) 09:22, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
- I'll have them removed in a bit. Ominae (talk) 09:26, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
- That said, in the first shot you can see one of the Intrepid's 40mm quad Bofors gun installations and one of her 5 inch guns, the 5in is directly about the nose of USS Growler's missile and the 40mm is above the next white pole on the left. Evil Tim (talk) 13:26, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
- I'm not sure the Intrepid still had 40mm and 5 in guns that late in the game. I think those are both 3 in guns. The Navy removed the 5 in guns from the Essex class when they were upgraded, and the Navy replaced almost all 40mms with 3 in guns. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:50, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
- You can see one of these mounts in a photo from 1968. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:03, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
