@fabriciobrisola1 The 16in cannons on the Iowa class battleships have an accurate range of about 22miles. The 8in guns of the Des Moines class heavy cruisers have almost identical ranges.

@zwartje66100 Beste taalgenoot. De Marine is tweetalig. Uw vraag over waar de haven zich situeert: N of Z is toch verbazend. Hebben wij in België in het Z nog iets anders als de Ardennen?
@JanVCB in het zuiden ben je dichter bij frankrijk en is de kans dat ze frans spreken groter dan dat als je in het noorden bent en dus dichter bij Holland
Are these cannons used for assaults on other ships? Or for on land bombardment? If these ships are decommissioned, what other ships is the french navy using? Do they have the same battery as this?
@chica476 used for anti air, anti ship and naval gun support. This ship was Belgian Navy. French Navy use now same concept but a modernised version of this canon
French Marine use special amunition to shot the stupidity out from the idiots like you...if it's not enough, whe fire a Exocet, another "French shit" weapon...
@InTerBrew ANTI-AIR?! What are you trying to shoot a fucking airship??? 100mm Cannon on anything the size of a fighter seems useless unless you actually manage to hit it, Although there is helicopters but still anti air?
@ionkill43 A 100mm shell with proximity fuse and a sophisticated fire control computer (including the variations in muzzle velocity, wind, time to target, etc... calculations) is very effective
@brucegor no shit. The French navy's vessels have a very fast reverse speed, and a tight turning radius so they can get the hell out of the fight and run away really quick.
@chica476 they can use the cannons for both land and sea targets, most new ships these days use mainly missle weapons, thou sum have actual rapid fire cannons, with fire at a higher rate than this.
Germany never gave up the fight for world control. With the US stuck in Afghanistan and Irak wasting its wealth making new enemies, Germany made a large leap forward. Having lost two open wars to become the dominating power on earth, Germany reverted to the tactics used before 1914 and between1918-1939: Infiltrating other countries with snitchers, manipulating them and draw as much wealth as possible from these victims of German greed. My brother Markus Bott was murdered because of our homepage
@moicced Hey.. no need to get all worked up about it, and result to bad language :)
I took a look at the C3, and I stand corrected. I hadn't thought that any civilized country still used such relics. My country certainly don't. 105's are only to be found on some of our older main battle tanks.
@locoawise don't mess with the dutch navy. they have always had the most sophisticated radars, fire support, and anti-missile weapons. we can see a missile launch in eastern-russia from holland, without our radar being at full power.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i mean fucking seriously why cant we im sure if we can make a nuke and all these high teck shit i think its kinda simple realy if you think about it its only 20mm ino its kinda alot but it will work so any way our scientest dudes need to figure out sum way to put a 120mm rapid firing gun on a tank or design a tank to do that if we can do that we will kill every enemy in the world
Thats impractical, putting an automatic 120m l44 on a tank such as the abrams. how can the tank sustain all that energy being released. it is also dangerous because of bio hazards. The tank may not be able to filter out all that bio waste. All tanks have a sort of vaccum that gets rid of the toxic fumes after firing, to keep the crew safe, but may not be able to deal with so much of it. it would need to be a big tank making it a big target, making it slow and heavy. ; )
North Korea in my opinion has what i like to call "Big Dick Syndrome"; and as a few Norway friends proved and pointed out, camera have been snuck into North Korea... and believe it or not, but their massive army is actually the smallest army in the world, or one of the smallest, they hide behind their own wikipedia posts and rumors that they started... very successful at the rumors though but if you look hard enough you see the truth :p
just go to a military surplus they have stuff like this without the gun powder and fuse and stuff like the ammo my dad got me a round from an M1 Abrams and a pineapple grenade at mickeys surplus here! :)
man since ww2 was over ship armament has gone so small!! from 16 inches now to bloody 5 inches,100mm etc.They should make a stealth battleship with armament of cruise missles,16 inch main battery and more importantly for our poor sailors a ship board hooters restaurant.
Take the Iowa class battleship, put it against say a Halifax class frigate
Iowa has 9 16" guns
Halifax has 1 57mm gun
The halifax with its agility and high speed would outmaneouver the 16" guns, and unload say 10 rounds of high explosive rounds on the bridge before the Iowa can load its 16" shells. now what?
Battleship days are overwith.
Nowadays its hightech munitions in small versatile guns, and missiles and CIWS's
Well as long as you equip a ship like he mentioned just with the most modern technology it'll be great. Give the modern battleship SAMs,SSMs, CIWS and more importantly smart munitions and nuclear tipped rounds, make it nuclear powered and you set.
Do you realize the environment, social, and legal reprecussion's to using a nuclear tipped round for a main gun?
You should probably rethink what you just said because the only thing "nuclear tipped rounds" are going to get you is exponentially growing hatred towards you.
Yeah low yield nuclear-tipped bunker killers. Sometimes your garden variety Bunker Buster won't knock out a super-hardened bunker. As long as it's close enough you can blow the bunker a whatever your target is to hell. And one or two nuclear blasts at sea (like if you were shooting a nuclear-tipped shipkiller) would hardly do anything to the enviroment in the grand scale of things.
Interesting: if you suppose bullet weight equal to bore^3 and equal bullet speed, and take the official sustained rate of fire you get the picture of delivered mass of missiles:
Any shell under 8 inchs would do absolutely nothing to most WWII battleships. you seriously need to be joking if you think a 100 mm round can even leave a dent on a battleship, such a round could hardly harm a heavy cruiser. As well whats to stop a modern day battleship from having a firing rate similar to this frigate? No country builds battleships anymore but if they did i'm sure the mechanisms that are used in these guns would be implemented onto the main guns of a battleship.
They can actually be that precise? But, dont forget what would stop a fully modern battleship from firing as rapid and as precise as a modern frigate? I dont see why they wouldent implement these technologies, and these mechanical systems onto a battleship?
If they could put automatic loading systems like they have below deck for the smaller guns, with no men loading huge shells then it might be able to fire quicker. but i think heat build up is the issue there
although, a 16" smart projectile flying out to 100km would be... umm NASTY to say the least, especially if they could increase the fire rate to even 10-20 RPM, just pure nastiness!!
Easy enough to do, cool it like you would a racing motor... Sea water! nice frigid sea water going in, cooling, and then coming back out, its enough to keep a 7000 rpm speedboat motor cool, which can melt headers just by revving a few times, it may handle these guns
Sounds like a good idea, hah we sound like a team of engineers designing a modern battleship with the way this convo is going about. I think though the only problem with a modern battleship would be ammo, imagine how quickly all those shells will go with such a quick firing rate.
I don't know about the 88, the Bofor was smaller but the key benefit of the WWII Bofor was it didn't use bolt action and it had an analog computer aiming system. Not saying this isn't a good gun, but they need to give more info to say why it's quantifiably better than a WWII system. My guess is the ammo has a mid flight correction capability, but they don't say that.
ww2 ammo has a flight correction capability? i dont think so. the top secret technology of the war for those shells were sensor fuses. the army and marines are just now getting into the gps guided munitions. as for the .88 being bolt action that was just a metaphor. i believe the 88 has auto eject, but you have to load a new round each time still
No, sorry about that, I meant to say perhaps the gun in the video has flight correction and that was only a guess on my part. I was just trying to say it isn't clear from the video what this gun has that makes this gun better, that's all. WWII Bofors didn't have flight correction, but they did have was an analog computer aiming system that automatically measured the direction and speed of the target so the operator didn't have to lead the target when lining up his shot.
This is Wikipedia's description of the WWII Bofor's aiming system, not very high tech. "The gun was also notable due to its advanced sighting system. The trainer and layer were both provided with reflector sights for aiming, while a third crew-member standing behind them "adjusted" for lead using a simple mechanical computer. Power for the sights was supplied from a 6V battery."
eh i dont think it was computerized. we didnt have a big computer thing back then, and the mainstream/functionable computers didnt develope until 70s or 80s. idk
The rate of fire with this French-made Creusot-Loire 100mm canon is 100 rounds per minute maximum. It can do more, but they were afraid the upper structure of the ship would fail :)
Sounds like the USA's 5"/54-62. Looks like the 100's got a higher rate of fire. Rapid rate's what, something like 28 rpm? The 5" fires 16-20 rpm

So you think a spread of armor piercing fin stabilized high explosive formed penetrator rounds would not penetrate armor?
one of these shells into the bridge, what would happen? oops... no more battleship brain
mattmatt115 3 years ago
Thats exactly what i mean these shells werent made to go through over a foot of steel.
BlackBirdZGTR 3 years ago
yeah i know what your saying and i agree
but the thing with small munitions is you can put them within say, an inch of where you want them
so a frigate could put a high explosive shell thorugh the window of the bridge of an Iowa battleship, and its rendered brain dead
then i guess a few shells at the communication array and radars would take out their eyes and ears
sure it wouldnt sink, but why sink an incapacitated ship killing hundreds of men unless your Israeli?
USS Liberty anyone?
mattmatt115 3 years ago
They can actually be that precise? But, dont forget what would stop a fully modern battleship from firing as rapid and as precise as a modern frigate? I dont see why they wouldent implement these technologies, and these mechanical systems onto a battleship?
BlackBirdZGTR 3 years ago
hmm now you have a good point.
If they could put automatic loading systems like they have below deck for the smaller guns, with no men loading huge shells then it might be able to fire quicker. but i think heat build up is the issue there
although, a 16" smart projectile flying out to 100km would be... umm NASTY to say the least, especially if they could increase the fire rate to even 10-20 RPM, just pure nastiness!!

Hah, at that rate the water around the battleship will begin to boil. They'd need extensive cooling systems to keep the barrels from overheating.
BlackBirdZGTR 3 years ago
Easy enough to do, cool it like you would a racing motor... Sea water! nice frigid sea water going in, cooling, and then coming back out, its enough to keep a 7000 rpm speedboat motor cool, which can melt headers just by revving a few times, it may handle these guns

Sounds like a good idea, hah we sound like a team of engineers designing a modern battleship with the way this convo is going about. I think though the only problem with a modern battleship would be ammo, imagine how quickly all those shells will go with such a quick firing rate.

Thats the same rate of fire on a WW2 '88' Flak gun.

Same rate maybe, but accuracy is the key in marine. Plus durability in salty water.
krbosak 3 years ago 4
how is it the same rate of fire? the 88 you have to reload after each shot. consider it a bolt action with a one round magazine against a semi-auto

I don't know about the 88, the Bofor was smaller but the key benefit of the WWII Bofor was it didn't use bolt action and it had an analog computer aiming system. Not saying this isn't a good gun, but they need to give more info to say why it's quantifiably better than a WWII system. My guess is the ammo has a mid flight correction capability, but they don't say that.
smokeysport2 3 years ago
ww2 ammo has a flight correction capability? i dont think so. the top secret technology of the war for those shells were sensor fuses. the army and marines are just now getting into the gps guided munitions. as for the .88 being bolt action that was just a metaphor. i believe the 88 has auto eject, but you have to load a new round each time still
eghotchkin 3 years ago
No, sorry about that, I meant to say perhaps the gun in the video has flight correction and that was only a guess on my part. I was just trying to say it isn't clear from the video what this gun has that makes this gun better, that's all. WWII Bofors didn't have flight correction, but they did have was an analog computer aiming system that automatically measured the direction and speed of the target so the operator didn't have to lead the target when lining up his shot.

This is Wikipedia's description of the WWII Bofor's aiming system, not very high tech. "The gun was also notable due to its advanced sighting system. The trainer and layer were both provided with reflector sights for aiming, while a third crew-member standing behind them "adjusted" for lead using a simple mechanical computer. Power for the sights was supplied from a 6V battery."

eh i dont think it was computerized. we didnt have a big computer thing back then, and the mainstream/functionable computers didnt develope until 70s or 80s. idk

The rate of fire with this French-made Creusot-Loire 100mm canon is 100 rounds per minute maximum. It can do more, but they were afraid the upper structure of the ship would fail :)

idk about that, the deck doesnt look too unsteady. as for the french....i didnt know they had anything more than bb guns and wine corks XD
