For updating your early war USN vessels, Niko Models has released a 5 piece set of the 'Chicago Pianos'.
   
During the early part of World War II, these guns were deployed on most U.S. Navy warships of destroyer and larger size.
Due to teething problems that were never rectified, the gun was very unpopular with its crews. It was replaced with the Bofors 40 mm gun whenever possible, but served until the end of the war on some ships.
This Niko set (No.ZW7051) comes with 5 gun mounts and 5 directors to a pack.
While a price isn't given and I haven't been able to find them with any on-line retailers yet, I'd expect pricing to be, based on previous similar sets, to be $4.99-$6.99 (US) plus shipping.
