 == History ==
-The 283 mm/45 SK L/45 was the cannon used to arm the original dreadnoughts and battlecrusiers of the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy). The turn of the century saw an shift in focus in multiple nations to all-big gun ships which led to an arms that intensified after the British became the first nation to launch a ship build with this arrangement, [[HMS Dreadnought]]. Kaiser Wilhelm II order a battleship with 28 cm main battery back in December of 1903 which led to the development of the ''Nassau''-class battleships Germany's first dreadnoughts, represented in game by [[SMS Westfalen]]. The guns were also mounted on the [[SMS Von der Tann]], a one-off ship built to counter the battlecrusier [[HMS Invincible]]. While improved and larger armaments would begin getting mounted on their ships, as the naval arms race continued, the guns saw service during World War I. Most notably, SMS Von der Tann sunk HMS Indefatigable during the Battle of Jutland.

-The SK L/45 stands out from naval guns of the period by using Krupp sliding wedge breech-block instead of an interrupted screw. This design requires a brass casing for the propellant to keep the gases from escaping. After World War II, all the ''Nassau''-class ships were ceded to the Allies after the German at Scapa Flow, Scotland scuttled their ships, including the Von der Tann. The SK L/45 guns would remain in service in the interwar period, but the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, there not any ships allowed to mount them so the guns was converted to coastal defense with a more powerful propellant that increased the velocity. The first battery was  Husøya Island, Norway while the second, was south of Constanța, Romania and helped defend the city from Soviet Black Sea Fleet in 1941.

This design requires a brass casing for the propellant to keep the gases from escaping. After World War I, all the ''Nassau''-class ships were interned at Scapa Flow, Scotland during negotiations of the Armistice, but the ships were scuttled by their crew, including the ''Von der Tann''.
