Naval guns

Naval guns are large artillery mounted on ships, designed to fire shells across great distances to engage surface targets, aircraft, or coastal defenses. They come in various sizes and calibers, ranging from smaller cannons to massive battleship guns, utilizing powerful breech mechanisms to load explosive shells at high rates of fire. These guns are vital for ship defense, naval dominance, and shore bombardments. Modern naval guns employ advanced targeting systems and automated controls for accuracy. Despite advancements in missile technology, naval guns remain important for close-range defense, surface engagements, and providing fire support during naval operations.
