naval gun

Such guns of Marks 9, 10, and 11 were utilized by HNLMS De Ruyter and Tromp. Would anyone offer a plan for Marks 10 and 11, the single mount for De Ruyter and twin mount for Tromp? Relevant info were rare, especially machinery structures.

Hello there, I was browsing navweapons and came across a design mentioned in passing within the article about the Japanese 100/65. Apparently, there was an experimental 140/80 gun tested in 1933. I was hoping someone here had more information on the gun.

Hello all, I was recently looking through Ruelle's numerical repertoire of naval gun plans and found something almost too fantastical to believe on page 11: The years on the right side appear to indicate that the project dates back to the 1920s. Have I misread things, or is this a mistake...

Could anyway provide more details? Was this investigated further?

I remember reading about a 20 mm mount that was was either twin or quad mount and it was a experimental twin or quad mount and my memory of it from the pictures it was in like either a ball mount type turret or spree shaped turret and it may have been tested in Vietnam but I don't remember and I...

This came to mind in a thread about US ship production, and I thought it should be spun off into its own thread for proper discussion. While Armored Cruisers were overtaken by Battlecruisers leading up to WW1, I suspect that is largely because the existing (Armored) Cruisers were all still...

Variously called, the Bofors 120/50 M/60Ty (Tyskland = Germany) was a Bofors late 1950's project for a new generation 120 mm ship mounted autocannon, replacing their twin barrel system from 1950, instead opting for a single barrel system with double the rate of fire. The German Navy showed...

While I was studying the Russian Navy's naval guns, I found a very interesting similarity between the a129 and the ak130. These Russian documents clearly show a completely different ammunition depot and supply route from the NATO system. But it's very confusing how they designed the swing arm...

Inspired by this thread https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/the-franco-belgian-front-holds-1940-consequences-for-the-raf.44388/ In WW1 the Sea war and associated air and coastal aspects were pretty stale, at best the Germans could 'assault their jailer, but remained in jail'. What If the...

Perhaps some of you still remember the article in stefsep's blog, where he mentioned a weird Italian battleship design: https://stefsap.wordpress.com/2017/09/27/ferrettis-10381-in-quintuples-battleship-design/ I just found out the original paper, published in 1916, and maybe written in 1915...

This probably doesn't fit here but I couldn't find any other suitable thread in the army projects forum, please remove if its too out of topic. Four months ago on Reddit I posted some FMC block 3 Bradley concept art and couldn't find a source. Lo and Behold I found it again alongside other...

Were there ever any considerations given to using RN guns in the 4-in calibres as land weapons?

I wish to collect, gather and discuss (But more importantly collect) the various naval gun projects the Soviet Union created, abandoned or wished to create. Here I list them what I've gathered so far according to type, feel free to comment, provide info and I will edit them in. Capital ship...

Hello all; I recently got my hands on a Storia Militare 'Dossier', the first part of a series covering the Italian navy from 1945 to 2015 (first part being from 1945 to 1970, issue no.14, Sept-Oct 2014) by Michele Cosentino and Maurizio Brescia. Within the SM 'Dossier' there is mentioned, in...

Hello all, I'm searching infos regarding real (albeit conceptual only) battleship projects distinguishing themselves for extraordinary caliber of main guns and/or number of main guns and displacement. I'm aware of the following, some yet briefly discussed in other topics: -Tillman maximum...

Looking for information on the twin 6 pdr coastal defence (also a warship's weapon) gun (http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_6pounder_10cwt_m1.htm) I found elsewhere on the Internet a cut-out from Ian V. Hogg's books "Anti-Aircraft Artillery" (attached below). The author mentions there that the...

I'm looking for the best drawings possible of what woudl be called the "definitive" Montana class battleship. I'm looking to make a 1/350 scale model, and that's big enough to make sure the details are right. I've googled around, but couldn't find much that was terribly impressive online... any...
