26 cm RK L/20
1870s Krupp naval artillery gun / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 26 cm RK L/20 was a gun from a family of Krupp naval artillery guns designed in the late 1860s. The gun resembled the 26 cm RK L/22, but was shorter, so it could be used in the central battery of certain ships. The gun came in an early variant with a 260 mm caliber. Later, these guns were adapted to 263 mm caliber.
