	Cannon
		The trunnions are the cylindrical extensions used to mount the gun in its carriage, and to permit it to be elevated and depressed.
		An Ordinance of 1732 standardised French cannon as 24-, 16-, 12-, 8-, and 4-pounders.
		Guns on the weather deck could be aimed more flexibly, and the cannon placed at the bows and the stern were especially valuable to protect the ship from attack from these directions, which were favoured by attackers since they were not then exposed to the ship's broadside.

	French 100 mm/55 (3.9") Model 1953 and Model 1964
		In effect, this gun replaced both the single 127 mm and the twin 57 mm weapons used on previous ships.
		The French Navy considers that a 100 mm (3.9") cannon fires a shell heavy enough for shore bombardment yet light enough for the gun to achieve a rate of fire sufficiently high enough to engage fast-moving aircraft.
		These mountings can be distinguished from the later 100 mm/55 (3.9") Model 1968 by the dual operator cupolas on the front face, one on each side of the gun.

	40 mm Automatkanon m/36 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The weight of the gun is balanced by one helical spring in the front arm and one in the rear arm and it only requires a small effort by three or four men to deploy the gun.
		When the gun is set to automatic, it keeps firing as long as either of the two firing pedals are depressed and as long as ammunition is fed to the loading mechanism.
		But on the other hand, since the guns that Bofors had designed themselves were their worst competitor, it did force the company to develop the new, improved, 40mm L/70.

		The three 76/48 28 LT naval guns, that Finnish Navy had in its submarines Vetehinen, Vesihiisi and Iki-Turso, were otherwise similar but were in 76.2-mm calibre.
		The guns proved to be not quite as good as heavy Bofors guns and especially old-fashioned fuses with gunpowder channels used in their ammunition decreased effectiveness as because of dispersion in their burning time fuse settings didn't function accurately.
		The guns of first batch were all stationed as three 6-gun batteries in air-defence of Helsinki while half of the second batch was located in Helsinki and the another half divided to 3 different cities.

		The gun port was cemented in addition of the frontal wall being covered with earth and a layer of rocks.
