Naval Artillery

[The Rock Doctor]

This is a list of Ottoman naval artillery; it is a "living" post and will be updated as new weapons are developed.

One will note a large variety of 105, 88, and 50mm pieces.  This is me being sloppy in the design phase and sometimes forgetting to change SS default shell weight to intended shell weight.  It will probably continue to be an issue.
