[DRG]

There are not in the wrong formation They are exactly where they have been now for years. There is a "Naval Support" formation for 5 in destroyer gunfire and 8 inch Cruiser gunfire but there has never been one for BB's The 16 inch guns only show up under Medium battery when there is a beach assault along with all the other naval guns

"Naval Support" will show up all the time becasue the guns in that formation are not classed as "Naval" so that some naval support is available for non beach assault battles ( without overdoing it ) simply becasue of the unique situation of USMC in WW2
