How were the US boats historically laid out with regard to deck guns? Were they always on the aft deck, or more on the front? Or was it a skipper's personal choice?

I like mine on the front personally, but must admit I had a running battle with a minesweeper yesterday, which I barely won because of my rear-firing deck gun.
