3″/50 caliber gun breechloading Naval gun, No. 1 of 2. The 3″/50 caliber gun (spoken "three-inch fifty-caliber") in naval gun terminology indicates the gun fired a projectile 3 inches (76-mm) in diameter, and the barrel was 50 calibers long (barrel length is 3 in × 50 = 150 in or 3.8 m). Different guns (identified by Mark numbers) of this caliber were used by the RCN on a number of different warship classes. These included the St. Laurent-class destroyers (built originally with 2 Mark 33 twin mounts, later they had one mount removed); Restigouche-class destroyers (built with one Mark 33 twin mount aft, although those refitted to the Improved Restigouche configuration had them removed); mackenzie-class destroyers (built with one Mark 33 twin mount aft except HMCS Qu'Appelle, which received two Mark 33 twin mounts [one forward, one aft]); Annapolis-class destroyers (built with one Mark 33 twin mount forward); and HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22) (built with 4 twin mounts, reduced to 2 during a refit in 1967).
