My mom still has my dads flag, he was a WWII navy vet USS New Jersey bofors between the stacks was his gun. Can't remember if he was on port or starboard side. Here's a pic of him and his shipmates wiping the shells down with cosmoline. He's the one with the dixiecup on the left. Here's the type of gun he was on, wish I could pull the or in this case push the trigger on one of these.
