According to Jane's there are 34 spare mk 7 gun barrels left. Are these not the ones needed. If so where is all of the hou-ha about no replacements coming from. This was an 85/86 book. Were the 16's upgraded from mk 7's? If I missed someone mentioning this stuff, sorry... [mod.note: The Iowas use Mk7's, yes. I wonder if they meant barrel *liners*, though, instead of complete barrels.
