For the full story of the big 5"/51 caliber guns of the Tambor/Gar class boats, surf over to this link: https://www.flipsnack.com/oceanoutre...fall-2021.html The whole newsletter is worth a read and will give you a good overview of the efforts to find the Grayback. The article with specific information on the gun starts on page 22. The article also has photos of the Grayback's gun sitting on the bottom near the wreck.

Existing photographic evidence shows that Tautog never was equipped with this gun. She was refitted to carry the 4"/50 caliber Mk 9 gun, but not the larger 5"/51 cal version.
