 == History ==
-The Vickers-Terni mod.1915/1917 is an Italian licensed version of the 2-pounder Mark II "pom-poms" used by the British Navy. In 1915, the Royal Navy understood the threat aircraft would pose and ordered what became the "pom-poms" to arm their ships of cruiser size and below. A scaled-up version of a design by  Sir Hiram Maxim, the design was adopted by the Italians in 1917.  Originally 50 were purchased from the UK before the production license was negotiated with Vickers-Terni. Now their main anti-aircraft gun production continued until the 1930s when the Regio Marina (Royal Italian Navy) began looking for a replacement. While updating the gun as the [[40 mm/39 Vickers-Terni mod.1915/1917, Modif.1930 (40 mm)|40 mm/39 Vickers-Terni mod.1915/1917, Modif.1930]], this move was only a stopgap until they eventually adopted the locally designed [[37 mm/54 Breda Mod.32 (37 mm)|37 mm/54 Breda Mod.32]].
