Hi all,
Looking for some further info. Not seen this in person, as it were, image sent by friend for ID.
Cartridge case found on a beach, W of Scotland. Appears to be for US 5"/38 Mk XII, but with Mk V stamp.
Most likely RN ship, e.g. one of US built Ruler/Ameer Class escort carriers, en route to/from Loch Ewe.
Any ideas on codes, TNO, 2730, ?MMC, DED ?
All help appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy
