EOC 10inch guns are offered for Italian armoured cruisers in a long period. Its general performances can be find on relative websites and references. Nowadays it seems hard to know further details of such weapons , as they were only equipped for a smaller navy and that they were really antique cannons.
Single L40 Pattern R for G. Garibaldi. Twin L40 turret for di St. Bon and E. Dandolo. Twin L45 Pattern W turret for those Cuniberti huge armoured cruisers. Right?
So, any info useful about this gun? Such as turret plans, further modification on Pisa and San Giorgio classes, etc. Thanks for sharing.
 
Didn't the Spanish have trouble with their Italian 10-inchers, this being the reason Cristóbal Colón went to Cuba with its secondary armament only?
