A little explanation For the gun itself SK= Schnelladekanone (Fast loading canoz) Schiffskanone prior to 1920( Ship canon) Tbts= Torpedoboots Kanone ( Torpedo boat canon) C= Construktionsjahr ( year of construction/ design) L= Lange (length of the gun, how many times the diameter of barrel) For the mounting L = Lafette (mounting) Drh= Drehturm/ Drehscheiben (turntable mounting, or simply translated to a turret) MPL= Mittel-Pivot-Lafette So for Admiral Graff Spee (my favourite German ship) 28 cm SK L/52 C/28, Drh L C/28 would be; 28cm ship canon with length 52 times of it's caliber constructed in 1928 are being mounted on a turret that constructed in 1928.

SMS Seydlitz is holding the world record in the reloading speed of it's 11'inch-guns at the battle of the Doggerbank, after both stern-turrets blew up.

@@stevevernon1978 it is not my idea, it is historically documented.

Dude world of warships stats aren’t realistic at all especially with the fact that some guns aren’t even as powerful as they are or are way too powerful for what they are
Because sometimes a gun would be marked as a 15cm when it's really 149 to round it up, the Chevy 350 ci motor is actually like 345, same thing happens with guns
@@1963felonee I understand the rounding part. It's just that, in the last 30+ years, 128mm or 12,8cm is the only number I've come across in both German and English documents, which is why the 12,7cm here took me by surprise.
@@SebaX92 I just read that, but they are still making it sound like FdG was completed, maybe they should have written (Shore gun intended for FdG) or something along those lines
@@neverborn1000 it's not about the ships being made but the guns. In total there were twelve 40.6 cm/52 (16") SK C/34 made for intended use on the H-class battleships.

@@crispico4727 the video is just about the guns that were originally built for naval warhsips and on what ships they can be found. so, even the H-class battleship project was cancelled, some of the 40,6 cm guns were built and used for coastal defense

I think when you remake this to include all the newer vessels instead of having a single sailor for perspective purposes you should have the amount of sailors that would work in such turrets etc.
@@babbyboy2164 it's to round up and make everything easy, especially with how Germans say numbers, in English it's Seven point ninety two. In German Seben, und Zwei und Neunzig millimeter, or you could just say Acht millimeter
It amazes me why German navel artillery almost always came in dual gun form? With the exception of the Graf Spee, Weimar, Mainz, Scharnhorst, GK and probably a few others, but why did German not adopt the triple or quadruple gun platform for their more modern ships, like Bismarck, Tirpitz and Hipper. If other nations were packing some serious firepower with triple gun main batteries, you would think Germany would do the same. Even England and France were boasting quadruple turret designs for their BBs, with the exception of U.S.S. Florida (designed project XVI), which would've had quadruple 356 mm guns in 3 turrets. So it's puzzling why Germany stayed with the 2 gun design for just about every modern ship they built. Keep in mind, I'm not talking about destroyers, but cruisers and BBs.
As, for example, Drachinifel pointed out, the main reason was probably the Krupp gun design, which used sliding breech blocks instead of screwed breeches. Those did have the advantage of a theoretically higher rate of fire and automation (this is why the USS Des Moines Class also uses sliding breech blocks), at the cost of taking up more space in the turret.
I don't know if that's historically correct but I've heard they used 4x2 instead of 3x3 so if you lose a turret you only lose 25% of your firepower whereas you'd lose 33% with the 3x3 design
Because triple guns weighted a lot more than dual guns, making ships slower, plus the German didn't to lose a third of their firepower whenever a triple turret is incapacitated.
@@danh7411 I don't think Germany would have been that worried due to weight issues. It could be the design of the guns, it could be something else, idk.
@@imreallynoob8311 Well, both are correct, but more sources call Scharnhorst class, Its because of the guns, 280mm for me wasnt a BB, i really thought it was a Battlecrusier. But thanks for correcting :D

I live near the USS New Jersey, can confirm, those guns have more area than the first floor of my house
Gun? That's a fricking city leveler.
A little explanation
For the gun itself
SK= Schnelladekanone (Fast loading canoz) Schiffskanone prior to 1920( Ship canon)
Tbts= Torpedoboots Kanone ( Torpedo boat canon)
C= Construktionsjahr ( year of construction/ design)
L= Lange (length of the gun, how many times the diameter of barrel)
For the mounting
L = Lafette (mounting)
Drh= Drehturm/ Drehscheiben (turntable mounting, or simply translated to a turret)
MPL= Mittel-Pivot-Lafette
So for Admiral Graff Spee (my favourite German ship)
28 cm SK L/52 C/28, Drh L C/28 would be; 28cm ship canon with length 52 times of it's caliber constructed in 1928 are being mounted on a turret that constructed in 1928. German is so fun, their designation is really self explanatory
