Hello Jim Catchpole,
 
Supplement 7 Traders and Gunboats references the
PA barbette used on the Gazelle Close Escort. I'm not
sure if the Gazelle first came out in JTAS 4 or Supplement 7.
 
JTAS 4 page 19
The Barbettes:
 
"The particle accelerator should be treated as heavy lasers
in Traveller Book 2, subject to an advantageous DM of +2
to hit. Damage from such hits should be skewed toward
crew casualties and electronic and computer damage if
there is no fiber optic back-up."


The other problem that I had when trying to re-validate the LBB2v2 and HGv2 stats for the gazelle is that, without drop tanks, the Gazelle is a 300-ton hull, yet has 4 hardpoints.

Perhaps one of the turrets is attached to the drop tanks?  :)
