8.8 cm SK C/32 naval gun

The 8.8 cm SK C/32 was a German naval gun that was used in World War II.

Description
The 8.8 cm SK C/32 was a gun of modest performance with a shorter chamber which fired a shorter shell. The SK C/32 had a loose one-part barrel with vertical sliding-block breech design. It was designed to replace the older 8.8 cm SK L/45 naval guns on German light cruisers. It is believed they replaced older 8.8 cm SK L/45 guns in twin Dopp LC/32 mounts on the Königsberg-class cruisers, Leipzig-class cruisers and were original equipment on the Spanish cruiser Navarra. The SK C/32in variant of the gun had a loose two-part barrel with vertical sliding-block and was carried on a modified twin 10.5 cm Dopp LC/37 mounting and was intended for the unbuilt M Class light-cruisers.
