| − | The aircraft carrier is the Intrepid in NYC. You can cross-reference its aircraft [http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/AircraftCollection.aspx here], so you can see they don't have an Israeli A-4. Either way, Israeli A-4s were armed with 30mm Adens rather than Mk 12s. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 08:23, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

| − | ::The Israeli jet is a Kfir, which is supposed to have 30mm DEFAs. Considering these planes are kept in the open in NYC, I doubt they'd have any real cannons mounted at all. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 09:04, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

| − | :::I honestly don't think the cannons on the planes are worth documenting. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 09:14, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

| − | ::::Me either. They're nothing more that background.And yeah, there's no A-4--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] ([[User talk:Mandolin|talk]]) 09:22, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

| − | ::::::That said, in the first shot you can see one of the ''Intrepid's'' 40mm quad Bofors gun installations and one of her 5 inch guns, the 5in is directly about the nose of USS ''Growler's'' missile and the 40mm is above the next white pole on the left.

| − | :::::::I'm not sure the Intrepid still had 40mm and 5 in guns that late in the game. I think those are both 3 in guns. The Navy removed the 5 in guns from the Essex class when they were upgraded, and the Navy replaced almost all 40mms with 3 in guns. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 13:50, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

| − | :::::::::Naw, she's still got a Bofors there, though I suppose that's a 3 inch gun next to it rather than a 5. You can see that section of deck with the Bofors guns still there in this shot, left of the staircase: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/06/Intrepid_Museum_Panorama.jpg [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 14:08, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
