Korean War Navy 3”/ 50 AA cycling dummy w/ container.

The museum I volunteer at comes across donations often. I gladly take on the task of identifying and researching their ordnance items. Here is an interesting item, complete with the aluminum storage container. All well marked. The storage tube is dated 1948, lid 1953. The casing and dummy fuze dated 1953 and 1956. The projectile marked “ 3 IN. AA MK33 Mod 0 1955”.

The 3” 50 in the older days and in more modern days with the enclosed “ turret”.

Thanks!
