Introduction
かの国で開発された艦艇防空用の連装高角砲です。大型艦艇などに防空火器として装備されました。建造と工事中止を繰り返したあの航空母艦にも、左右舷側と飛行甲板への背負い式装備が計画されていました。
A twin high-angle gun mount for vessel air defense developed in that country. It was equipped on large vessels as an air defense armament. Even on that aircraft carrier that repeatedly went between construction and work stoppage, it was planned to be equipped on the broadside and flight deck of the ship in superfiring arrangements.
Notes
Unbuildable.
10.5cm/65 SK C/33 was one of the dual-purpose guns used by the Kriegsmarine during WWII. The gun entered service in 1935 and it was mainly used as an anti-aircraft gun on german warships. It was used on the following classes of german ships: Bismarck-class, Scharnhorst-class, Deutschland-class, Admiral Hipper-class. Aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin was planned to be equipped with these guns too, but that never came to pass as the carrier was not completed. Number of these guns were also used by the French Navy after the war on captured italian light cruisers Scipione Africano and Atilio Regolo.
The electrically powered tri-axial mounting of the turret was not watertight and that resulted in many problems, mainly with the electrical installations providing power to the turret.
