Just a typo. Under the section _Shinano_, last paragraph, second sentence:
"He ship was not in a fit start to put to sea."
I'm sure that's just missing a T. Also, "a fit start to put to sea"... I'm not familiar with that phrasing. I'll assume that's a nautical phrase and not in error. It sounds awkward to my ear, but as I said, I'm probably just not familiar with it.

Traveller in Time 
counting guns
"There is a summation of probably a lot of guns.
>>by the end of its life it had six 155mm (6.1 inch) guns, 24 127mm (5.0 inch). Its anti-aircraft armament consisted of 162 25mm (0.98 inch) and four 13.2mm (0.52 inch) guns.
I am not entirely sure about the ", 24 127mm (5.0 inch)." part however."

Sorted. I changed 'start' to 'state' because I too don't think that's right. I'm ready to be corrected on that.

I've changed the sentence mentioned to "It had formidable secondary armament as well; by the end of its life it had six 155mm (6.1 inch) and 24 127mm (5.0 inch) guns."
Also, A87846853 (for ease of linking).
