13 Pounder Naval Gun

[edit]

I came across this page which says that WWI Royal Navy motor launches were fitted with a 13 pounder gun on a naval pedestal mounting. This looks rather different to the QF 13 pounder 6 cwt AA gun that we already have an article about. The page goes on to say that they were removed and mounted on Defensivly Armed Merchant Ships. An example of one was indeed recovered from a sunken merchant ship in 1982 and now stands on dispaly at Scarborough harbour. Does anyone know the official designation of this naval gun? We should at least mention it in this article, if not give it a seperate page. Alansplodge (talk) 13:35, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
