Hi all, I at some point, I wanted to try to suggest the Viesturs class minesweepers but couldn’t due to lack of info. While the history is fine, the main issue is armament. I had scoured multiple websites and received assistance via book source from someone on the forums, there remains 2 issues.
Example of one of the classes ships:Imanta

While all sources are consistent in the rest of the ship’s specs, the machine guns seem to be changing every source. Some say it’s 4x7.7 guns. Others say it’s 3x12.7s. some say it didn’t have a machine gun. On top of all this, none of the sources seem to name the machine gun type. As far as I’m aware none of the ships went through refits in either Latvian or soviet service.

While the 75mm is consistently mentioned, the type is also inconsistent. Some don’t name what gun it is, I’ve seen one source claim it was French and another claim it was a Czechoslovakian gun.
Please can someone provide sources from books or something, the websites seem to lack info and it’s driving me up the wall.
Thank you.
The only source from a book I have
