WWII merchant ships - when did they start being armed?
Was it only when the U-boat attacks began in earnest, immediately when was was declared, or even earlier, in anticipation of the coming storm?
Also, did some countries, like Poland, start arming their ships earlier than others?

Got that! The quotes R from your own link; I was pointing out my unfamiliartity with FAM and if they were not possibly rejected Z battery's seen detrimentally exploding on poor HOOD...now used on British LSTs and Victory merchant ships-not a deviation from the thread IMHO. LST's while amphibious vessels were essentially another cargo vessel with only a crew of 98 combined operations in addition to the 217 tank crew members for 18 to 22 tanks. My post was only in the way of seeking info on the FAM use on merchant ships. I cannot find a photo of a mount for one on a cargo ship.
