Thank you, only one ship of this class (CL-42 Savannah) had the 5"/38 cal Mk 12:

The other ships of the Brooklyn class used 5"/25 cal single mounts. The modified Brooklyn's sometimes called St.Louis class featured the 5"/38 as well (http://www.navsource.org/archives/04/050/0405006.jpg), but the ship in SH5 is of the "base" class.

I'll change it in near future by correcting the 5"/25 and adding a proxy model for USS Savannah.
