British Naval Deck Gun

The History and a story

The History

This weapon was used on british ships, and they were very significant because guns were very scarce at the beginning of the war. One ship was captured by the Germans, and the took that gun and moved it to their ship. They soon took more British Deck guns and put them on their other ships. The German ships entered the New York Harbor in 1917, the American ships took the guns and put them on their own ships. Those ships hulled 1.8 million US soldiers and sailors to Europe.
