High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The QF 12 pounder 12 cwt gun was a common 3-inch (76 mm) calibre naval gun introduced in 1894 and used until the middle of the 20th century. It was produced by Armstrong Whitworth, Elswick and used on Royal Navy warships. As the Type 41 3-inch (76.2 mm)/40 it was used on most early battleships and cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy, though it was commonly referred to by its UK designation as a ?12-pounder? gun.

An exception was made when the British Army were outgunned by the Boer artillery in South Africa and the Royal Navy was called on for help.
