hehe... I think that's a typo:

Armament: two .50 cal MGs in each of bow, dorsal and tail turrets, and one .50 cal in each of two beam positions. up to 12,000lb of weapons, including bombs, depth charges, and torpedos.

The floats on each wingtip retracted into wingtips. Overall production of the type seems to have been under 300.
