These were the first large-caliber guns designed entirely in Japan. They were mounted afloat only on the Nagato class, but had been planned for use on the Kaga, Amagi and Kii classes of the early 1920s, all of which were canceled as a result of the Washington Naval Limitation Treaty. Those completed guns and mountings intended for the canceled ships were then used for the modernization of the Nagato class during their 1930s rebuilds. One of the old turrets removed from Mutsu was installed as a static display at the Japanese Naval Academy at Etajima. Three twin turrets originally intended for Akagi and Tosa were instead used as coastal artillery, covering the southern entrance to the Sea of Japan on Tsushima, Ikishima and at Pusan, Korea.
These guns were generally similar to British wire wound guns of the time but were of lighter construction, being about an inch (25 mm) less
in diameter at the muzzle than the 15"/42 (38 cm) Mark I. This may indicate that they were not wire wound over their full length.
Used a Welin screw breech but with an Elswick 3-motion short-arm mechanism, which resembled that used on the British 18"/40 (46 cm) guns of
1917. The breech block needed to be withdrawn straight back into the carrier before it could be swung. A total of about 40 guns were
manufactured at the Kure and Muroran Ironworks.

[:D] Although they may have spelled it w-u-s-s.

Cap, by any chance was that abscess caused by grinding your teeth as you worked with the new computerized medical records system,
or submitted your California Tax on Responsible Adults? In the former case, you should be able to claim worker's compensation and
in the latter case, a tax deduction equal to your pain and suffering. We'll all be your witnesses! [;)]

Naw, I had that tooth filled years ago...then the filling fell out...so it was rotorootered out again and a bigger filling applied...then the tooth cracked...so I needed a root canal with a temporary filling...then I waited 7 years <nobody told me that was too long>..so now another rotorooter and a new temp filling and now that has to be drilled out again next week and I need to have any microscopic cracks filled then recapped...then I go back in August to have the cap drilled out again and a permanent crown applied.

I reminded of the Seinfeld joke: "The only difference between Josef Mengele and my dentist are the magazines in the lobby" [:D][:D]


When I was a medical student there was this homeless alcoholic guy with advanced diabetes, no teeth and a bad infection on his gangrenous big
toe. We are pumping him full of antibiotics, spending thousands to save his toe and everyday at rounds he asks:

Mr. Jones: Hey Doc, do I get to go home <sic> today?

Chief Resident: No, sorry Mr. Jones. We need to get your blood sugar under 200.

Mr. Jones: Aww Doc, just cut it offfff <sprays spit out through missing teeth..then smiles broadly> I don't need it.

Guy was an amazingly happy fellow. Didn't matter to him how many toes he had. I am beginning to understand his philosoffffy.
