Talk:4.5-inch Mark 8 naval gun

Untitled
First paragraph

I really find that paragraph totally confusing. The gun was standard since 1938, but designed in 1960 later in the page. WTF —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.81.195 (talk) 02:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The 4.5 gun as a specific calibre originated in 1938. There are many different versions of any gun. This article is about the Mark 8 version of the gun, which originates from the 1960s. Rcbutcher (talk) 20:45, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

The actual bore is 4.45 inches (113 mm) : read this

Ammunition
Article needs to say something about ammunition, eg was it a totally new round, could it fire the ammo used in the older guns, obviously it had an electrical primer. IIRC the prox fze was N97 but subsequently L116 and perhaps now L166 or something. Were DA fuzes available (eg Vickers L32?). Was fuze setting done at the breach or below - or was N97 simple VT not CVT? If it was VT then there may have been a gun mod for L116 and its FSE (and perhaps another for new induction fuzes), unless the AA role of the gun has been totally abandoned.Nfe (talk) 04:15, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Elevation
In which elevations can the gun been trained?--109.91.78.75 (talk) 01:20, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

155mm variant
There's update beyond the line on traisl to begin in 2009. Perhaps this 155mm version has been cancelled?Cibwins2885 (talk) 20:12, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

About the mount
What is the parabolic antenna posed over some of the Mk 8 turret guns? Was it a FCS radar? 62.11.0.22 (talk) 14:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
