24-Pounder Naval Cannon

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A naval long gun on a truck carriage. Not a named 24-pounder portrait.

Overview

The 24-pounder is already on Bucentaure — Overview. That Téméraire-class 80 carried 32 × 24-pounder long guns on the upper gun deck at Trafalgar.¹

The Battery

This note covers that Bucentaure upper-deck battery only. British 24-pounder specifications, range, and crew stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE. Do not read the filled 32-Pounder Naval Cannon numbers onto this gun.

The same table already filled the lower deck as 30 × 36-pounder long guns on 36-Pounder Long Gun — French Naval Standard. The British first-rate contrast already filled is the 32-pounder.²
