Friedman, on p 368 of US Battleships says the 5in/25 were not replaced by 5in/38 but only shielded. The photographs on that page seem to bear this out. Anyone have a definitive answer?

Agree. The error is in Breyer; he seems to have mistaken the shielded 5”/25 for 5”/38, Brooksindy ( talk) 20:31, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Early WWII chronology appears garbled. 71.83.153.74 ( talk) 20:45, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
The Wikipedia entry says the grounding was on the Diamond Shoals of North Carolina, with references to articles in the Times (London). I’m not able to check those Times articles to confirm they say the North Carolina location. However, several American newspapers (New York Times, Washington Evening Star, New Britain [Connecticut] Herald) all cite, at the time and with photos, the ship grounded in New York harbor, on the Diamond Reef near Governors Island. This was an important event for the USS Colorado, so it deserves a close look to have the correct entry. WanderingGator ( talk) 02:30, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
