Would an updated quadruple pom-pom be a suitable way to improve the anti-aircraft armament under discussion?
Short answerA quadruple Bofors would be acceptable; developing the newer weapon is preferred to rebuilding the old pom-pom concept.
NotesThe reply distinguishes a new quadruple Bofors mounting from updating a quadruple pom-pom. A quad Bofors is accepted if it can be made available. Reworking the pom-pom would retain the issues associated with an older gun. Developing the newer system is therefore judged the easier course.
