巡洋艦の主砲だったものを、戦艦の副砲として活用しました。<br />

条約下で保有数に制限のあった重巡を、火力を増強した強力な軽巡で補うために開発されました。<br>

「大和」型に搭載され、対空戦も可能な、性能・運用性ともに優秀な戦艦副砲となりました。<br />

初の三連装砲でしたが、射程・発射速度・運用面全てに高い評価を得ることになりました。<br>

砲塔部の装甲が薄いのが玉に瑕で、諸説ありますが「大和」型の唯一の弱点という指摘もありました。<br />

後に有名な「大和」型戦艦の副砲としても採用されています。<br>

''"Developed to cover the absence of heavy cruisers, which were restricted under naval treaty, by deploying light cruisers with enhanced firepower. It was the first 3-gun turret, highly rated in every aspects such as range, firing rate and actual operation. Was later equipped as secondary guns for Yamato class battleships. Could be used in anti-air firing as well."''

''To cover the shortfall of heavy cruisers that were limited by the Treaty, this gun was developed to produce powerful light cruisers.<br> It was the first 3-gun turret with excellent range, fire rate and operability. <br> It was later adopted as the secondary guns of the Yamato-class battleships. <br> It is a masterpiece that can also be used for anti-air.''

Equipped by Mogami-class cruisers before they were converted into heavy cruisers by swapping their gun into [[20.3cm Twin Gun Mount|20.3cm]] turrets. Apparently Mogami-class was designed as a heavy cruiser, but the naval treaty at the time defined cruiser types with main gun caliber so it is a sort of regulation loophole. The other ships that also equip this are the Yamato-class Battleship and the Oyodo-class Light Cruiser
