  • The Armstrong Whitworth 12-inch naval gun of 40 calibres length was designed by and manufactured mainly by Armstrong's ordnance branch, Elswick Ordnance Company. It was intended for the Royal Navy's Royal Sovereign-class battleships, but budgetary constraints delayed their introduction. The first units were instead supplied to Japan. As the Type 41 12-inch (305 mm) 40-calibre naval gun it was the standard main battery on several early United Kingdom-built pre-dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. It later entered service with the RN as the 12-inch Mark IX, being fitted to warships of three pre-dreadnought classes prior to World War I. Also, during the war several guns were converted for use as railway guns, and, towards the end of the conflict, for use on the M-class submarine monitors. The gun also saw service with the Italian Regia Marina, in two classes of pre-dreadnought battleships. (en)
  • Il 12 in/40 Mk. IX era un cannone navale progettato e prodotto dalla Elswick Ordnance Company, ramo della Armstrong specializzato nella realizzazione di bocche da fuoco. Venne progettato per armare le navi da battaglia classe Royal Sovereign, ma restrizioni di bilancio ne ritardarono l'entrata in servizio. Le prime unità prodotte furono quindi fornite al Giappone, dove il cannone, denominato Type 41, divenne l'armamento principale di diverse pre-dreadnought prodotte nel Regno Unito per la Marina imperiale giapponese. In seguito il pezzo entrò in servizio anche nella Royal Navy su tre classi di pre-dreadnought in tempo per essere utilizzato nella prima guerra mondiale. Durante la guerra diverse bocche da fuoco vennero convertite in cannoni ferroviari. Dopo la fine del conflitto il cannone fu usato sui sommergibili monitori classe M. Il cannone fu acquistato anche della Regia Marina italiana, che lo installò su due classi di navi da battaglia pre-dreadnought. (it)
