context_page_description: The 38.1 cm/45 Model 1926 naval gun, also known as the Vickers-Armstrong 38.1 centimetres Mark B, was originally intended to form the armament of the Brazilian battleship Riachuelo. Eighteen of the guns were subsequently purchased by Spain for use as coastal artillery.
  The guns could fire an armour-piercing shell weighing 860 kilograms at a velocity of 762 metres per second or a high-explosive shell weighing 802 kilograms to a range of 35,100 metres. They were mounted in individual armoured gun houses.
  In the 1990s, seven mounts remained operational, and were provided with modern Swedish fire control equipment.
