Introduction
呉海軍工廠砲熕部で開発された初の純国産戦艦主砲です。
16インチ(40.6cm)を僅かに上回る、この41cm砲は「大和」型の46cm砲が登場するまで世界最大の戦艦砲でした。
これを搭載した「長門」「陸奥」は、当時世界列強の「ビッグ7」として、多くのファンに称えられていました。
The first purely domestically produced battleship gun was developed at Kure Naval Yard Gunnery Division.
Calibered at 41 cm, which slightly exceeds 16 in (40.6 cm), it was the largest battleship gun until Yamato-class' 46 cm gun.
Nagato and Mutsu, being equipped with this gun, were well-known nationally as members of the World's Big Seven.

Trivia
Developed for the IJN's 'Eight-Eight Fleet Program' in 1914, in which Japan initially intended to build eight battleships and eight battlecruisers. The Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 scrapped the various plans for other ships (Tosa, Kii and Amagi classes) to carry this gun, leaving the Nagato-class as the sole class. The gun was also deployed in three coast-defense turrets intended to close off the Strait of Tsushima. One turret each was deployed on Iki and Tsushima Islands while the third was mounted in Pusan, Korea.
