The USS Porter doesn't have a 76mm - it has a 5"/54 (127mm) mark 45 rapid fire mount forward

The history channel had a show on modern piracy recently. It's amazing how wide spread it is, going virtually unchecked in parts of the world.

P.S. The show, Return of the Pirates will be on again in Nov. and Dec.
