410mm gun from IJN Mutsu

[Papa Nambu]

In Tokyo currently. I decided to visit the Museum of Maritime Science, Shinagawa, in Tokyo. It was closed... BUT, the main thing I wanted to see was outside, so still worth the trip. It's a 16-inch (410mm) gun from the No. 3 turret of IJN battleship Mutsu.





I put my hat on the breech for scale.
