The Most Powerful Gun in the
Navy. A largo quantity of hydraulic fittings lately arrived at Devonport, to ba used for the completion of the hydraulic system for tho 12in guns of the new battleship Implacable. The Implacable is the first ship to be armed with the new 50-ton typo of breech-loading gun, which is without doubt tho most effective woapon ever adopted for use in tho Navy. This gun, of which four are to be mounted on the Implacable, is dl'o feet in length, and has an effective range over a distance of ten miles. Its powerful character will be best understood when it is stated that the projectile—weighing 8501 b—when it leaves the gun, travels at the rate of 2GOO feet per second, and would penetrate a plate of iron 43 inches thick if placed immediately in front of the muzzle. These new guns cost £IO.OOO each, and the mountings and fittings necessary for working the four mounted on the Implacable cost another £50,000.
