<HTML>Hi Marc

I see your are back from Italy.. and you have found an error in my post.. :-)

I had confused the row in my datatable.. About 4500 meters was the maximum range of the 2cm, the effective range was about 2500 meters.
The 37mm Flak on the u-boats had an effective range of approx. 4500 meters.

I was trained on the Oerlikon 35mm-twin 63/90 and 4000 meters is the effective range of this gun. The 20mm 57 is not used anymore.. ;-)

Regards
Rainer</HTML>
