''"The first pure domestically produced battleship gun, developed at Kure Naval Yard Gunnery Division. Calibered at 41cm and slightly exceeding 16inch (40.6cm), it was the largest battleship gun until Yamato class' 46cm gun.

Developed for 88 fleet plan of Japanese Navy in 1920s where Japan intended to built eight battleships and battlecruisers, under expectation that United States will develop a 16inch guns for their battleships (and it actually happened). Eventually the plan for Amagi class battlecruisers and Kaga class battleships were both aborted, leaving Nagato class the only class in Japanese Navy to carry this gun. 

Developed for the first 'Eight-Eight Fleet Program' of Japanese Navy in 1910, in which Japan initially intended to build eight battleships and eight armored cruisers. The Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 scrapped the various plans for other ships to carry this gun, leaving Nagato-class as the sole class.
