Historical information and application

The 102 mm Q.F. Mk.XVI gun was the standard artillery armament on many British ships during World War II. It was mounted on, among others, destroyers, light cruisers, aircraft carriers and frigates of the Royal Navy. It served primarily as a dual-purpose weapon against air and surface targets. Example ships equipped with these guns include HMS King George V, HMS Ark Royal, and Tribal-class destroyers. The period of use for this artillery was mainly World War II (1939–1945), with continued service on some ships post-war.
