Mike:

It was quite common to "scrape together" odds and ends to arm many ships. They rarely got "new" guns and related equipment. I have even seen official navy documents that describe ships going out with "dummy" guns (painted wooden poles), with the intent that subs might pick another target for a surface attack.
