BL 6 inch naval guns Mk XIII – XVIII : ウィキペディア英語版 | BL 6 inch naval guns Mk XIII – XVIII
This article covers a number of fairly similar British-built 6-inch 50-calibre naval guns that found their way into temporary British service in World War I. Their specifications and performance differed from standard Royal Navy 6-inch guns but in British service they fired standard service 100-pound projectiles. == 6-inch Mark XIII gun in Royal Navy service ==
When World War I began, Armstrong-Whitworth were completing the battleship ''Sultan Osman I'' for the Ottoman Empire, originally begun as ''Rio de Janeiro'' for Brazil. Its secondary armament consisted of 20 of their 6-inch 50 calibre guns, which were similar in design and characteristics to the British naval service Mk XI gun and used the same ammunition. The battleship was completed as HMS ''Agincourt'' and served in the Royal Navy in World War I, with its guns designated BL 6 inch Mk XIII. After the decommissioning of ''Agincourt'' in 1921 her 6-inch guns were used for coastal defence, and in 1939 the British gunboats ''Aphis'' and ''Ladybird'' each had their 2 6-inch Mk VII guns replaced with 2 MK XIII guns, in which capacity they served in World War II.
