6"/47 caliber Mark 16 gun
The 6"/47 caliber Mark 16 gun was a feature of many U.S. light cruisers during World War II. Two versions of this gun were built, Mod 0 and Mod 1. These guns were primarily mounted in triple turrets to engage surface targets. Late in the war limited number of two-gun dual-purpose gun ("DP") turrets mounting the same gun were produced capable of engaging air and surface targets. Today one of the few 6-inch triple gun turrets left in the world is on the museum ship USS Little Rock (CG-4), which is located in the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park in Buffalo, New York.
