context_page_description: The 10 cm/65 Type 98 naval gun, also known as the long 10cm high-angle gun, was a light caliber naval gun of the Imperial Japanese Navy used during World War II. It was employed on the aircraft carrier Taihō, the light cruiser Ōyodo, and Akizuki-class destroyers. From 1945, land-based installations became more prioritized. The gun was considered by the Japanese to be their finest anti-aircraft artillery weapon. After the end of World War II, the gun remained in service on the two Japanese destroyers ceded to the Soviet Union and the Republic of China as war reparations.
  The Allied forces first captured a shore-based twin-mounting of this weapon at Iwo Jima.
