Identification request: AA cannon

[DocWatson]

I have three instances of a type of American AA cannon in three parks in Rhode Island which I'm hoping to have identified. I believe they are 3 inch (78mm) or possibly 3.5 inch (90mm) of the WW2 era, but I don't know the exact model.

Bristol: Independence (number twenty of the twenty-eight) and Veterans Parks

Pawtucket: Slater Park: Cannon in front of the former zoo's location

Any ideas?

Thanks. I couldn't figure out how to separate the image from the surrounding Web page.

Edit: The others are the same type, just in parks half an hour away.

Doc,
I don't know enough about naval guns to identify them from a distance. But I can say that I've seen multiple 3" 50 naval guns on display at VFW posts and parks around the Ocean State. There's a good chance what you are seeing is one of the many permutations of 3" 50. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-inch/50-caliber_gun

I heart naval guns.

The guns in this thread https://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...ttleship-Texas are 3 inch 50 caliber AA guns from the USS Texas. I’ll get the model in a few days and post it.

The 3" guns here are Model 20s with no version or revision number.

Found/solved! (Close enough.)

I have an affection for 16"/50 cals myself.

I can’t add information on the model or origin of the cannon pictured but think it would make a fine addition to any man cave.

Where would you put the adult beverage holder?

Where would you put the adult beverage holder?

There's plenty of room on the outside sides of the seats, though you would probably have to weld the beverage holder on.

Edit: That is, to the left of the left seat and right of the right seat. Oh, and I hope the building's foundation would be able to take the load.

Casting for that would me a mother!!! Don't think a 20 lb pot would work very well!!!
