Yep. When a gun is on the "deck" of the boat, it is mounted in a "Deck Gun" position, so therefore, is a Deck Gun, not an AA gun, no matter its size, and will only shoot at surface targets. Plus, since the game only provides for one player position, you can only man the one gun. Any gun on the fairweather is mounted in an "AA Gun" position, is an AA Gun, and with then only shoot at air targets, and ignores surface targets. Even if you manage to mount an 18.3 inch triple gun turret there - it will only shoot at air targets, unless the player assumes control. Now, take that same boat and same guns, and turn them into an AI controlled ship, and all guns shoot at all available targets, which is infuriating... but that's the nature of the game.
