History

The Meiji era of Japanese history was marked by a desire to modernize the Imperial Armed Forces often by modelling their tactics and military after those in the West and adopting weapons from western sources. The 3-inch/40 Type 41 (adopted in 1908, the 41st year of the Meiji era) for example was the designation given to 3 inch 12 pounder 12 cwt guns first purchased from Elswick and Vickers but later license-built by Japan. Fitted as the secondary or tertiary armaments on various warships used by the Imperial Japanese Navy between 1890 and 1920 including the Kawachi-class dreadnought IJN Settsu and Tsukuba-class cruiser IJN Ikoma. A built-up naval gun with multiple layers of steel, the guns remained in service through World War II.
