Introduction
条約下で保有数に制限のあった重巡を、火力を増強した強力な軽巡で補うために開発されました。
初の三連装砲でしたが、射程・発射速度・運用面全てに高い評価を得ることになりました。
後に有名な「大和」型戦艦の副砲としても採用されています。
対空戦にも効果を発揮する傑作砲です。
Developed to cover the absence of heavy cruisers, which were restricted under naval treaty, by deploying light cruisers with enhanced firepower.
It was the first 3-gun turret, highly rated in every aspects such as range, firing rate and actual operation.
Was later equipped as secondary guns for Yamato class.
Could be used in anti-air firing as well.
Notes

- Ooyodo is the only CL that benefits from fit bonuses from this gun. Some CAs (probably Mogami and possibly Tone class) also see unknown bonuses.

Trivia
Equipped by Mogami-class cruisers before they were converted into heavy cruisers by swapping their gun into 20.3 cm turrets. The Mogami-class was designed as a heavy cruiser, but the naval treaty at the time defined cruiser types by main gun caliber so it was a sort of regulation loophole. The other ships that also equip this are the Yamato-class battleship and the Ooyodo-class light cruiser, while the Tone-class heavy cruisers were originally planned to use these guns.
