An Entity of Type: Weapon104565375, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The demi-cannon was a medium-sized cannon, similar to but slightly larger than a culverin and smaller than a regular 42 pounds (19 kg) cannon, developed in the early 17th century. A full cannon fired a 42-pound shot, but these were discontinued in the 18th century as they were seen as too unwieldy. The lower tiers of 18th century English warships were usually equipped with demi-cannons.

  • The demi-cannon was a medium-sized cannon, similar to but slightly larger than a culverin and smaller than a regular 42 pounds (19 kg) cannon, developed in the early 17th century. A full cannon fired a 42-pound shot, but these were discontinued in the 18th century as they were seen as too unwieldy. The lower tiers of 18th century English warships were usually equipped with demi-cannons. Ships featuring demi-cannons included HMS Sovereign of the Seas, HMS Resolution and HMS James, which fought in the Anglo-Dutch naval wars. Demi-cannons were also used on HMS Stirling Castle, the wreck of which was discovered in the Goodwin Sands. Several examples of this weapon were recovered from the site. The barrels of demi-cannon were typically 11 feet (3.4 m) long, had a calibre of 6 inches (150 mm) and could weigh up to 5,600 pounds (2,500 kg). It required 18 pounds (8.2 kg) of black powder to fire a 32 pounds (15 kg) round shot. The demi-cannon had an effective range of 1,600 feet (490 m). These 32-pounders were used during the 18th century on first-rate ships of the line which carried up to 100 guns. Though powerful, the naval demi-cannons were inaccurate, except at close range, which allowed warships to cause as much damage as possible. Sometimes a single broadside was enough to cripple the enemy vessel. (en)
  • El cañón de 32 libras fue una tipología de cañón media, similar pero ligeramente más grande que una culebrina. Era más pequeño que el cañón típico de 42 libras desarrollado a principios del siglo XVII,​ que era considerado el cañón pleno, por lo que a veces el de 32 libras era referido como "demicañon" o semicañón. Se trataba del calibre más bajo usado para artillería naval en la armada inglesa del siglo XVII inglés. Otras armadas estandarizaron calibres distintos, como el cañón de 36 libras de la marina francesa. Los buques armados con estas piezas incluyeron al HMS Sovereign of the Seas,​ HMS Resolution,​ HMS James y HMS ​ desplegados durante las guerras navales anglo-neerlandesas.​ Estos cañones fueron típicamente de 11 pies (3.4 m) con un calibre de 6 pulgadas (15.4 cm), pudiendo pesar hasta 5600 lb (2540 kg). Requerían 18 lb (8 kg) de pólvora negra para despedir un proyectil de 32 lb (14.5 kg). El alcance efectivo rondaba los 1600 pies (490 m).​​ Fueron utilizados durante el siglo XVIII en navíos de línea de tres cubiertas​ que podían llevar hasta 100 cañones. A pesar de su potencia, eran poco precisos fuera del corto alcance, por lo que los buques intentaban acercarse al blanco tanto como fuera posible antes de despedir su andanada para maximizar el daño al enemigo. A veces una sola salva era bastante para neutralizar al barco enemigo.​ (es)
  • Un canon de 32 livres (en anglais : 32-pounders long gun) est un canon tirant des boulets de 32 livres, armant les plus gros vaisseaux de ligne anglais puis britanniques et les batteries côtières, du XVIIe siècle au milieu du XIXe siècle. Le calibre de ce canon est exprimé à partir de la masse du boulet, 32 livres étant égal à 14,5 kilogrammes, ce qui correspond à un diamètre de 154 mm (6 inches). (fr)

  • 데미캐넌(demi-cannon)은 컬버린보다 크고 캐넌보다는 작은 중형 대포이다. 17세기 초에 개발되었다. 데미캐넌의 포신은 보통 11피트(3.4 미터) 정도였고, 구경은 6 인치(15.4 센티미터)에 무게는 5600 파운드(2540 킬로그램) 정도였다. 흑색화약 8 킬로그램으로 14.5 킬로그램짜리 구형 포환을 발사할 수 있었다. 유효 사거리는 약 1600 피트(490 미터)이다. 32파운드 데미캐넌포는 18세기의 전열함에까지 사용되었는데, 이런 군함은 100문 이상의 포를 장비했다. 해군용 데미캐넌은 위력은 강력했지만 조준이 부정확하여 적함에 최대한의 파손을 가하기 위해서 현측과 현측끼리 최대한 접근해야 했다. 때로는 적함의 전투력을 상실시키기에 한쪽 현측만으로는 불충분할 때도 있었다.
