The odd looking doo-dads in the bottom half are twin 13mm gun mounts. They should be just dandy for USS Defiance's twin .50 Mounts! 2 folds, and PRESTO! :yipee

Pay no mind to that Yankee Ironclad, in the background. (USS Indianola) She's just there for contrast.
VFFSB got her forward M2 .50 caliber gun today as well. :skipper
