Russian coast defense ship Gangut ( 1888 ) Gangut ( Russian : броненосец " Гангут " ) was an Imperial Russia n coast defense ship named after the Battle of Gangut . This ship was a scaled down version of the Imperator Aleksandr II class battleships Design and construction . The ship was designed as a smaller version of the Imperator Aleksandr II class battleship on the instruction of Navy Minister Ivan Shestakov . The aim was to have a cheaper vessel able to operate in the shallow water of the Baltic Sea with long range deployment to the Mediterranean and the Far East . The specification was issued in 1887 and the design was approved by the Marine Technical Committee in 1888 . She was built by New Admiralty yard , St Petersburg . Construction started on October 29 , 1888 , and she was launched on July 3 , 1893 . Completed in 1894 , she was 600 tons over her designed displacement which led to an increase in draught and a loss in speed . Her trials were difficult and she had to return to Kronstadt to have repairs after 19 days . Several modernisation schemes to correct the defects were considered but did not proceed due to extensive demands on the Russian shipbuilding industry . Armament . The main armament comprised a single 305 mm gun in a barbette mounting at the bow . The secondary armament comprised four 229 mm guns in casemates and four 152mm guns which were not protected . Anti torpedo - boat armament comprised six 47mm guns and twelve 37 mm Hotchkiss guns . There were also four 63 mm landing guns and six torpedo tubes . The Russian Navy considered replacing her 305 mm gun with a 229 mm to reduce weight . Another plan was to replace the secondary armament with new 152 mm Canet guns and leave the 305 mm gun in place . Protection . Compound armour was used . The main belt was 2 . 13 m tall but had only 0 . 91 m height above the mean water line due to excessive weight . The Russian Navy Marine Technical Kommittee ( MTK ) considered re - armouring her with a thinner belt of stronger Harvey armour Machinery . Two VTE steam engines with 8 cylindrical boilers were installed . The ship also had a complex drainage system with steam turbine pumps . She proved slower than designed with a maximum speed 13 . 8 knots rather than 15 knots . Sinking . She sank on June 12 , 1897 during a military exercise after hitting an uncharted pinnacle of rock near Vyborg in the Gulf of Finland in 30m of water . There were no fatalities . A gash along the ships bottom led to both boiler rooms flooding and a loss of power to her pumps . Drawbacks in her design with limited damage stability resulted in ineffective counter - flooding . Bulkheads were poorly riveted leading to leaks . The ship settled and sank slowly on an even keel . A plan to refloat the ship by the Swedish Neptune Company was not carried out , divers recovered some items from the ship in 1898 . She was not popular in the Imperial Russian Navy . Rear Admiral Birilev , her former captain , is quoted as describing her as " . . a vile ship , it ' s good that she sank , and it is pointless to raise her " ( Warship 2005 , Conway ' s Maritime Press , p . 181 )
9 cm Minenwerfer M 17 The 9 cm Minenwerfer M 17 ( Trench mortar ) was a medium mortar used by Austria - Hungary in World War I . It was developed by the Hungarian Gun Factory to meet a competition held on 3 October 1917 to replace both of the earlier light mortars , the M 14 / 16 and the Lanz . Production was slow to ramp up and only ten weapons could be delivered in January 1918 . The first large deliveries were made in March 1918 , but the raw materials crisis and strained production facilities hindered the TMK ' s plan to produce 2730 mortars by October 1918 . It was a breech - loading smooth - bore weapon that used a shotgun - like break - action to open the breech . This was arranged so that the barrel returned to the proper elevation to speed up the rate of fire . The carriage was mounted on a small metal rectangular firing platform with four carrying handles that permitted some amount of traverse .
