-This gun succeeded the similar World War I-era BL 4.7 inch gun, changing the cartridges from BL silk bags to separate QF in brass cases and a new horizontal sliding-block breech mechanism. The Mk XII gun was deployed in twin mountings CP Mk XIX on the [[Tribal (Family)|Tribal-class]] destroyers of 1936 as well as the [[J-class (Flotilla leader)|J-class]], [[K class (F37)|K-class]] and [[N class (G25)|N-class]] of 1938.

 The 4.7 inch calibre was finally superseded by the 4.5 inch calibre on the Z-class destroyers in 1943. The new 4.5 inch gun had 55-degree elevation mounts and actually fired a shell slightly heavier than that of 4.7-inch XII guns.
