That is NOT correct. Both stock and GWX use 40 ammo per rack, k-gun etc.
Now if the boat in question has 2 depth charge racks and 2 k-guns (not an uncommon arrangement) that would give it about the 160 you mention, so you're not too far off, but its strictly based on how many racks, k or y guns are on board. |
That's why I said "I believe"
I remember reading that somewhere around here, but I can barely remember my own name most days, let alone how many D/C's a destroyer carries
