Being more than a year behind the Americans and Brits on this list my
opinions
on B5 are probably not all that meaningful, but looking at my Voice in
the
Wilderness tape it seems clear that Hyperion has two types of battery,
the
"big guns" in a fixed mount forward and five twin turrets which are used
both to intercept incoming fire and against ships.
