During WWII the US fielded three basic designs of 4.5" rocket. - fin stabilized, spin stabilized and beach barrage. Following the war the spin version carried over to Korea, with mixed success. A significant amount of testing continued through the 1960s in an effort to improve accuracy and warhead design, but the 4.5 design pretty much died there. The 115mm CW rocket was a completely different design and had nothing to do with any of the 4.5s. It was only fielded in three versions, dummy, practice and live fill.

Shown below are the 4.5" fin stabilized, the spin stabilized, Beach Barrage HE and Beach Barrage smoke.

outstanding. that being said now i am disappointed becuase i thought i had learned about the 115 mm CW rocket but see that they are totally unrelated.

anybody who knows about development and manufacture of the 115 mm CW please PM me.
