416×

416× is a series of Soviet and later Russian 16-inch (406 mm) naval guns, developed during the mid-20th century. The series includes the 416×1939, 416×1942, and 416×1946 models, each with slight variations in design and performance. These guns were primarily used on Soviet and later Russian battleships and cruisers, such as the Sovetskaya Rossiya and the Admiral Nakhimov.

The 416× guns are characterized by their large caliber, which provides significant firepower and range. They use a breech-loading system with a rotating breech, allowing for rapid reloading and high rates of fire. The guns are typically mounted in twin turrets, providing a high degree of fire control and flexibility.

The 416× series played a significant role in the naval warfare of the Cold War era. They were used in various conflicts, including the Korean War and the Soviet-Afghan War. Despite their age, some of these guns remain in service with the Russian Navy, serving as a reminder of the country's naval history and technological prowess.
