11th year gun

[edit]

There's some recent discussion over at Talk:12 cm/45 10th Year Type naval gun#12 cm 11th Year Type M - Naval Gun which, following the merge, is probably better discussed here. Klbrain (talk) 21:41, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Tenth Year Type"

[edit]

I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but in the Imperial Navy practice, the "3rd Year Type" or "10th Yer Type" did not refer to the year the gun went into service itself, but the year the type of breech was accepted . A gun that is designated "3rd Year Type" uses a Welin block interrupted screw, and there are at least half a dozen different guns in the IJN called "Xcm/X 3rd Year Type". It mentions this on 20 cm/50 3rd Year Type naval gun. So it's possible that the original Type 10 designation was totally a coincidence, and does in fact refer to the year the gun was adopted, but it makes me wonder if this is the same as a Tenth Year Type in the Navy, which could be vertical sliding block, or any other type of breech design. Since an artillery gun is mostly a tube and a breech, and the main distinction between various guns lies in the breech system, the carriage, and the recoil system, and I doubt that many of the land-based gun's accessories were translated into the naval version, it seems entirely possible.

Hi! In this case it should be 10th Year Type (十年式). Just Type 10 is wrong. The difference is counting years according Japanese calendar (type 式) or counting year according the rule of the Emperor (year type 年式). --Ozzy (talk) 16:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
