The 8"/35 caliber gun Mark 3 and Mark 4 (spoken "eight-inch-thirty-five--caliber") were used for the main batteries of the United States Navy's first armored cruisers and the secondary batteries for their first battleships, the "Indiana"-class .
 The 8"/40 caliber gun Mark 5 initially armed the "Pennsylvania"-class armored cruisers.
The 16"/45 caliber Mark 6 gun is a naval gun designed in 1936 by the United States Navy for their Treaty battleships.
 It was first introduced in 1941 aboard their "North Carolina"-class battleship s, replacing the originally intended 14"/50 caliber Mark B guns and was also used for the follow-up "South Dakota" class.
 These battleships carried nine guns in three three-gun turrets.
 The gun was an improvement to the 16"/45 caliber guns used aboard the "Colorado" class , and the predecessor to the 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 gun used aboard the "Iowa" class .
The 16"/45 caliber gun (spoken "sixteen-inch-forty-five-caliber") was used for the primary batteries of the last class of Standard-type battleships for the United States Navy, the "Colorado"-class .
 These guns promised twice the muzzle energy over the Mark 7 12-inch/50 caliber guns of the "Wyoming"-class battleship and a 50% increase over the 14-inch/45 caliber guns of the "New York"-class , "Nevada"-class , and "Pennsylvania"-class battleship s.
The 7"/44 caliber gun Mark 1 (spoken "seven-inch-forty-four--caliber") and 7"/45 caliber gun Mark 2 (spoken "seven-inch-forty-five--caliber") were used for the secondary batteries of the United States Navy's last generation of pre-dreadnought battleships, the "Connecticut"-class and "Mississippi"-class .
 The 7 in caliber was considered, at the time, to be the largest caliber weapon sutiable as a rapid-fire secondary gun because its shells were the heaviest that one man could handle alone.
The 13"/35 caliber gun Mark 1 (spoken "thirteen-inch-thirty-five-caliber") was used for the primary batteries on eight of the first nine battleships in the United States Navy, "Indiana"-class , "Kearsarge"-class and "Illinois"-class ;  used the 12 in /35 caliber gun.
The "New York" class of battleship was a class of ships designed and constructed by the United States Navy between 1908 and 1914.
 The two ships of the class, "New York" and "Texas" , each saw extensive service beginning in the occupation of Veracruz, World War I, and World War II.
The 10"/31 caliber gun Mark 1 Mod 1 (spoken "ten-inch-thirty-one--caliber") and the 10"/35 caliber gun Mark 1 Mod 2 were both used for the primary batteries of the United States Navy's "Amphitrite"-class monitor "Miantonomoh" .
 The 10"/30 caliber gun Mark 2 was used as main armament on the remaining Amphitrite-class monitors, the monitor "Monterey" , and the armored cruiser "Maine" .
The 14"/50 caliber gun was a naval gun mounted on "New Mexico" and "Tennessee"-class battleship s.
 These ships also featured the first "three-gun" turrets, meaning that each gun in each turret could be "individually sleeved" to elevate separately (however, they could be linked so they would elevate as a unit, similar to the triple turrets on other Navy ships).
 The 14"/50 caliber guns were designated as Mark 4 and 6, with later versions known as Mark 7, 11, and B.
 These guns were more powerful than the main gun mounted on the previous three classes of US battleships (the "New York" , "Nevada" and "Pennsylvania" class es), the 14"/45 caliber gun.

USS "New York" (BB-34) was a United States Navy battleship, the lead ship of her class.
 Named for New York State, she was designed as the first ship to carry the 14 in /45-caliber gun.
The 14"/45 caliber gun, (spoken "fourteen-inch-forty-five-caliber"), whose variations were known initially as the Mark 1, 2, 3, and 5, and later as the Mark 8, 9, 10, and 12, were the first 14 in guns to be employed with the United States Navy, and were for over a year the most powerful naval ordnance afloat.
 They were installed aboard the United States Navy's "New York"-class , "Nevada"-class , and "Pennsylvania"-class battleship s as the primary armament for each battleship in the class.
 The gun also saw service in the British Royal Navy, where it was designated the BL 14 inch gun Mk II.
