here's a new US_shells.dds bitmap to replace the stock one ==>

i was browsing through my 1940 copy of the bluejacket manual, came across a nice color [!] illustration of the various naval ordnance designation markings, and realized that the stock image(s) is/are pretty inaccurate... so hopefully this will remedy the situation somewhat.
NB that:
- AP has a black projectile body with yellow tip
- HE has a grey (slate) projectile body with yellow and grey (slate) tip
- illuminating "starshells" have a blue projectile body with a white star emblem (
)
make sure to back-up your original in case you want to revert.
