~~==Introduction==~~

旧型の小型砲です。 旧型駆逐艦に標準的主砲として搭載されました。 装填・操砲も人力ですが、シンプルな構造で経済性も高く、駆逐艦や海防艦等の主砲として、長く使われました。 対空射撃には不向きです。

''This is an old model small-caliber gun. It was equipped on older destroyers as their main armament. Both loading and rotation were manual, but with its simple construction and low cost, it served a long time as the main weapon of destroyers and coastal defense ships. It cannot be used for anti-air.''

==Trivia==

−

This gun's basic structure was based on the British [[~~wikipedia:~~QF 4.~~7-inch~~ Gun Mk ~~I–IV|QF 4~~.~~7in. Mk.IV gun~~]], which was later produced domestically in Japan. The barrel of this gun was later mated to a high-angle mounting and served as AA guns for early Japanese heavy cruisers (ie. Furutaka-class to Takao-class~~. Both~~ classes had their AA guns exchanged for [[12.7cm Twin High-angle Mount|12.7cm twin]] afterward, but Chokai alone was equipped with 12cm singles throughout her career).
