On G.Averof modification

[GianmarcoBianchi]

Greek legend acr G.Averof is not the original apperance now. it was modified during ww1 and about 1925. Anyone know how Averof's small caliber secondaries and AA guns are located, especially in ww2?

At the risk of necro-ing,
Before the refits the 76 mms were located on the superstructure. Most were in the platform between the 7,5inch turrets, a pair in casemates on the sides of the forward superstructure (you can still see them in the ww2 pic above), and a few more in different positions. Two of the 47mms were on the 9,2 inch turret tops , but they do not appear in most photos so they were likely not put in place all the time.

After the refit four of the 76mm were replaced by dual purpose guns, and a half dozen 37mm guns were added. This 3d model by ModellbauRay shows the latter in platforms by the rear wing turrets.

But pictures are not high quality enough to personally verify or deny.

Some of the threads on here are old enough to drink and still get new replies. That's the nature of research on these sorts of topics.
