Re: 18.1" Anti-Aircraft Guns!!!

I just checked with a guy on the Military History Forum at AOL (whose
libary I
would cheerfully steal at the slightest opportunity) and asked him about
allied use and he'd never heard of it, but hey I continue to do some
research
I append his short note

<'ve posted info 2-3 times in the past 2 years on Yamato's san-shiki
"beehive"
shells, but I never looked into AA rounds for our big guns.  Like the
guy
says, Yamato's use of them amounts to trivia, plus they ruined the
barrels, so
they were a desperate option.>
