What is the history of naval guns at sea?
Speaking of naval guns, there are certain achievements in history. In the great October socialist revolution, the cruiser "Aphrodite" made a sound that shocked the world and announced the birth of the first proletarian dictatorship country in the world.

Yes19171.7 (Russian calendar 1.25), Lenin personally led the uprising in Smolny College, the headquarters of the uprising. The Revolutionary Military Commission published a letter drafted by Lenin to Russian citizens, announcing that the interim government representing the interests of the bourgeoisie and the landlord class was overthrown. However, the temporary government entrenched in the Winter Palace refused to surrender in an attempt to make a dying struggle.

At 9: 45 pm, the cannon on the patrol ship Aphrodite moored on the nerval River roared, and the shells roared and fired at the enemy's lair, signaling a general attack on the Winter Palace. The uprising crowd rushed into the Winter Palace with the cry of "Wula" and wiped out the remaining enemies in one fell swoop.

The cannon on the cruiser Aphrodite is a naval gun. This kind of naval gun is the main weapon used by ships for attack and defense. There are many kinds of naval guns. According to the different tasks and caliber of naval guns on ships, naval guns are usually divided into main guns, auxiliary guns, anti-aircraft dual-purpose guns and anti-aircraft guns. According to different devices, it can be divided into turret gun, deck turret gun and deck gun.

The main gun is the largest caliber gun on the ship, which is used to complete the main combat tasks undertaken by the ship. Small caliber guns are generally called sublance.

Anti-aircraft dual-purpose guns can be used to shoot enemy ships or shore targets, and can also be used to shoot in the air. Anti-aircraft guns have high firing rate and are used to attack moving targets in the air. At present, the large and medium caliber anti-aircraft guns on some ships have been replaced by advanced dual-purpose guns.

The ammunition and gunners of turret guns are hidden in armored protective rooms, similar to turrets on tanks. But they are also different. Tanks are generally single-barrel guns, and naval guns mostly use multi-barrel guns, which are called multi-barrel guns.

Cruisers and destroyers are generally equipped with three guns. Deck turret guns and deck guns refer to guns equipped with armored protective plates or shields. Judging from the current situation, naval guns are mostly turret guns. This is because the turret can not only prevent killing, atomic radiation and seawater splashing, but also facilitate the automatic operation of the artillery.

Because warships sail on the rough sea, naval guns are mainly used to shoot moving targets at sea, so naval guns are generally equipped with devices that can stably aim, so as to track targets at any time and shoot accurately.

With the development of military technology and the application of missiles, great changes have taken place in modern naval guns. In the past, the task of shooting long-range targets with large-caliber naval guns is now mostly undertaken by aircraft and missiles.

Therefore, many countries are no longer equipped with large-caliber naval guns over 200 mm, but for short-range targets within 7 km, naval guns are generally used to shoot, because the price of artillery shells is much cheaper than that of missiles, and they are also very accurate.

Naval guns can also be used to intercept missiles flying 3000 meters away, which is an effective weapon against low-altitude aircraft.

Modern naval guns are mostly multi-purpose, that is, they have the characteristics of high-altitude shooting. Moreover, most of them realize automatic operation and remote control with radar and director, so that naval guns can meet the growing needs of modern operations.
