Own a historically significant piece of U.S. naval firepower with this inert restored 5"/38 Cal Mark 35 Anti-Aircraft Common (AAC) Round, featuring an original brass case and 5-inch closing plug. This multi-purpose high-explosive round was designed for anti-aircraft defense, surface warfare, and shore bombardments, making it a crucial component of U.S. Navy combat operations from World War II through the Cold War.
This round is officially designated under DODAC/DODIC/DDAC 1320-D260, with its original NSN 1320-00-540-7200 (later replaced by NSN 1320-00-640-8017). NAVAIR & NAVSEA part numbers 513862, LD261594, and LD261595. Genuine piece of U.S. military ordnance history.
Historical Significance
The 5"/38 caliber dual-purpose gun was the primary naval artillery system of the U.S. Navy from World War II through the Vietnam War. Found on battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and aircraft carriers, it played a vital role in both air defense and surface combat.
The Mark 35 Anti-Aircraft Common (AAC) round was specifically designed to engage fast-moving enemy aircraft while maintaining effectiveness against armored surface targets. This shell was crucial in defending against kamikaze attacks in the Pacific Theater, as well as in shore bombardment operations, including those at Normandy, Korea, and Vietnam.
