	Naval artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naval artillery or naval rifles refers to warship-mounted cannon used in naval warfare for attacking other vessels, bombarding targets on shore (naval gunfire support), or for anti-aircraft.
		The crowning achievement of naval artillery was the Dreadnought-era battleship.
		The dominance of the modern battleship was from about 1906 to the end of the Second World War during which typical main armament rose from 12 inch calibre guns to 15 or 16 inches with consequent increase on range and shell firepower.

		"Artillery" is a general term covering several varieties of large-calibre weapons; currently these fire an explosive shell or rocket and are of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
		anti-aircraft artillery - artillery (usually mobile) that is dedicated to the ability to attack aircraft from the ground.
		Modern field artillery is often self-propelled (permanently mounted in a carriage or vehicle capable of moving independently) in order to move quickly from one firing position to another - to both support the fluid nature of modern combat and to avoid 'counter-battery fire'.

	1.JmA -Heavy artillery at Leningrad
		One of the most ferocious and large-scale battles employing the large number of heavy artillery units in the World War II took place in the vicinity of Leningrad, where the German advance was stopped on the outskirts of the city in autumn 1941, with the assistance of numerous coastal artillery of the Soviet navy.
		The first explosions of German artillery shells within the city were registered on September 4, 1941, and in autumn the German command deployed three artillery regiments with the guns of 105-150 mm, reinforced by the two heavy artillery units of the High Command Reserve and several railway artillery platforms.
		Artillery and airforce of the Leningrad front and Red-banner Baltic Fleet are not employed effectively and are not co-ordinated by a single commanding officer responsible for counter-battery actions.

		Naval and air preparatory fires had failed to neutralize the German defenses, and the resulting casualties were high.
		Naval gunfire and combat aviation must be concentrated in support of landing.
		Nevertheless, the decision on the allocation of naval gunfire support seems to have been based on the principle of equal distribution of resources, as opposed to the relative combat power of the enemy at the two locations [see table, opposite page].

		Field artillery commanders and fire support agencies at corps through company levels advise and assist respective maneuver commanders with integrating, coordinating, and executing all means of available fire support to support combat operations.
		Field artillery is organized at corps, division, and brigade levels with a specific command and control structure that enables the field artillery commander to accomplish dual responsibilities as a FSCOORD and an artillery commander.
		When naval fire support is available and the general tactical situation permits its use, naval firepower can provide large volumes of devastating, immediately available, and responsive fire support to combat forces operating near coastal waters.

		For one thing, naval artillery could not be expected to achieve the necessary steep trajectory required to knock out the forts.
		Even should the naval bombardment prove successful the absence of ground troops would prevent the British from gaining command of the shorelines - and in the absence of supplies from the shore the naval fleet would necessarily have to return home to refuel and restock.
		Meanwhile the French government, in the form of incoming naval minister Jean Augagneur, was reluctant to cede the possibility of a purely British naval success in the Mediterranean.

	Sailors as Infantry in the U.S. Navy
		Naval infantry operated ashore regularly during the Quasi War with France, the War of 1812, Seminole Wars, the War with Mexico, the American Civil War, and the Spanish-American War.
		While naval reformers argued the question of what kind of fighting to train for, there was general agreement that naval infantry sustainability was normally limited to 2-3 days and operations were limited geographically.
		Most famously, a Naval Battalion, formed from the remnants of the shore establishment of the 16th Naval District in the Philippines, performed bravely and effectively on Bataan in late 1941 and early 1942.

	Rheinmetall AG - The Navy ordered guns from Heinrich Ehrhardt too: Naval artillery posed special challenges to engineers
		And it is a fact that its Naval Systems division, which was taken over with retroactive effect by BAE Systems Deutschland GmbH on January 1st 2003, constituted much of Rheinmetall's naval expertise.
		With the launch of the British battleship Dreadnought in 1906, an arms race at sea commenced which, in a few short years, would witness the construction of an ever-greater number of British and German battleships, which were ever-faster, ever-more heavily armoured, and equipped with ever-larger guns with ever-heavier calibres.
		From the outset, shipboard artillery has always presented a tremendous challenge to engineers, because rather than operating from a fixed point, the guns are fired from a constantly rocking, perpetually moving platform — and are still expected to hit the target.

		Constantly imperiled by artillery and mortar fire from strong and mutually supporting pillboxes and caves studding Hill 362 in the enemy's cross-island defenses, Willis resolutely administered first aid to the many marines wounded during the furious close-in fighting until he himself was struck by shrapnel and was ordered back to the battle-aid station.
		Fearlessly braving the fury of artillery, mortar, and machinegun fire from strongly entrenched hostile positions, Bush constantly and unhesitatingly moved from one casualty to another to attend the wounded falling under the enemy's murderous barrages.

		The 1865 application by the (then) Auckland Naval Volunteers is attributed to the (then non-existent) Auckland Naval Artillery Volunteers and thus it appears A Battery's predecessor made an application in 1866.
		Of course, this Naval Artillery Volunteer Corps isn't the one that became A Battery.
		In all, provided the Dunedin Artillery Volunteers tendered their services within 60 days from 1 January 1866 - which they did, and had it accepted - which it was, the 1865 reapplication process had no affect on existing seniority.

	Fire Support Coordination: Introduction
		(3) Field artillery support is widely available but the high degree of centralized control inherent in artillery doctrine is lacking, because the environment and nature of operations require wide dispersal of artillery.
		This procedure applied to artillery support is not unusual, but the method of coordinating TACAIR with other fire support will serve to illustrate the techniques which make the system so effective.
		An artillery air observer is with the FAC; the air observer is in contact with the artillery LO, the ground FOs, the artillery battalion and battery FDCS, and the firing batteries on the artillery FM fire direction net.

	HyperWar: US Army in WWII: Campaign In the Marianas
		Throughout the day and thereafter during the operation, in order to minimize interference between air and naval gunfire, all ships were directed to deliver their fire from ranges of a maximum ordinate of less than 1,000 feet when possible and to exceed that maximum only after notification by Admiral Hill.
		Initially, all artillery in support of the 4th Marine Division was based on Saipan except for four battalions of 75-mm.
		Naval fire support during the battle for Tinian was also considered to be an improvement over that for Saipan, again because of greater experience on the part of ships' companies and because of more favorable terrain.

	DD(Rex)
		The clash in Leyte Gulf is regarded as the largest naval battle in history, but it is the battle at Surigao Strait which has for years captured the imagination of naval historians.
		The dominance of the carrier in naval combat had become apparent more than two years prior at the Battle of Midway, and the obsolescence of the battleship, in turn, heralded the rapid decline of the gun as the primary weapon of the U.S. surface fleet.
		This decline in the strength of naval artillery on U.S. destroyers took place over a period that saw the great Iowa class battleships, each with 9 16-inch guns (capable of propelling 1,900 pounds of high explosives up to 30 miles) and twenty 5-inch guns, disappear from the fleet altogether.

		In fact these sailors formed the bulk of the city's artillery defences, with 8,886 of the 10,562 defending gunners being sailors.
		This kind of unit might not jump readily to mind when this important conflict is considered, but as we have shown their impact was considerable and they are indispensable in any of the various actions around Sevastopol.
		Rather light on figures compared with Strelets' normal standards, and perhaps two sprues of the artillery figures could have been included to bulk the set out, but what there is is a very fair effort.
