Hello evryone!

This 23.5" "GUN MOD 98-02-18" 3in MarkII (AMMLOT) has a Scoville 07 Shrapnel shell. Is this a viable combo? Could this be an AA round? Your thoughts.....

Your case is definitely Antiaircraft. There are at least 3 types of shrapnel projectiles calibers, 3 inch 23 cal landing gun, 3 inch field gun and 3 inch anitiaifcraft gun. To be definite on identification, we need to know the length of the projectile, and a photo of the entire projo would help.

Your projectile does look like one of the longer ones, which would be appropriate.
