They fired fixed-type ammunition (antiaircraft, armor-piercing, or star shell) and had a range of 14,600 yards (13,400 m) at 45°, and an antiaircraft ceiling of 28,000 feet (8,500 m) For antiaircraft defense, the Buckley -class carried four 1.1 inch/75 (28mm) guns or two Bofors 40 mm L/60 guns fitted in the 'X' position.
