I've never seen that one before Mr Mccarthy USS Ault (DD-698) that is.

Two five inchers on the bow ... How many five inchers did a battleship have (10) or more perhaps?

USS Ault was a Sumner Class destroy which were first commissioned in 1943. Iowa Class battleships did have 10 twin 5"/38 mounts.
