12-Pounder Naval Cannon

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. Naval ordnance on a truck carriage. Not a named 12-pounder portrait.

Overview

The credit is already on HMS Victory — Overview. At Trafalgar her upper gun deck carried 30 × 12-pounder naval cannon; quarterdeck and forecastle carried 12 × 12-pounder + 2 × 68-Pounder Carronade.¹

The Credit

This note covers that Victory credit only. A specification table, range, crew, and a British 12-pounder class story stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE. Do not read the filled 32-Pounder Naval Cannon numbers onto this gun.

The same Victory list already filled the lower deck as 30 × 32-Pounder Naval Cannon and reserved the middle-deck 24-pounders. The French 24-pounder battery is already on 24-Pounder Naval Cannon. Canister, chain, and bar stay off.²
