3 " / 70 Mark 26 gun The 3 " / 70 Mark 26 Gun was developed to protect United States Warships from kamikaze attacks in World War II . The name indicates in US Navy terminology that this piece of naval artillery fires a 3 " projectile ( 7 . 62 cm ) in diameter and has a caliber length of 70 ( barrel length = 3 " x 70 = 210 " or 5 . 33 meters ) . History . The 3 " / 70 Mark 26 Gun saw its development when the US Navy realized that the Oerlikon 20 mm cannon and the Bofors 40 mm artillery were too small to kill - stop Japanese kamikaze planes . As a joint project between the United States and the United Kingdom , its design being finalized in 1956 , the Mark 26 missed any wartime action . It was an essential improvement over the previous version , the 3 " / 50 Marks 27 , 33 , and 34 , increasing the barrel length by 60 inches and improving range by over 5 , 000 feet ( approximately 1 , 500 meters ) and elevation by 5 degrees . The 3 " round was chosen because it was the smallest ammunition that could still be equipped with a VT radar proximity fuze . The twin barrel mount was believed to be more effective against faster aircraft and guided missiles than the single mounted 5 " / 54 caliber Mark 42 gun , hence , the single barrel version of the Mark 26 never saw service use . Versions . The Mark 26 was the last of four versions of the 3 " / 50 caliber AA ( anti - aircraft ) artillery . The Mark 23 was the initial prototype on the USS Carpenter ( DD - 825 ) to test the fully automatic firing of the artillery . The next version ( Mark 24 ) was exactly the same despite an overall weight loss of the actual gun . The Mark 25 ' s improvement was based on a rapid - fire horizontal - wedge breech . The final , and service ready , version incorporated all of these improvements ( with the exception of being much heavier than the Mark 24 version ) as well as a water cooled monoblock system with a horizontally sliding breech mechanism . Ammunition . The ammunition used in the Mark 26 is heavier than its earlier 3 " rounds used by the US Navy . Although it was a joint project by the United States and the United Kingdom , the two countries used cartridges that differed slightly .

Border outpost A border outpost , border out post , border observation post or BOP is an outpost maintained by a sovereign state on its border , usually one of a series placed at regular intervals , to watch over and safeguard its border with a neighboring state with whom it may or may not have cordial relations . Such posts are manned by border guard s and are at all times connected by radio communication with ongoing border patrols in their region and the force headquarters in the interior of the country for their day to day functioning , passing on intelligence and for requesting supplies and any needed reinforcements in emergencies . Depending on the length and breath of a country ' s borders and geography , are located in a wide variety of terrain , including the inhospitable areas that often mark political boundaries . Layout . Border outposts , where available , are built on strategic locations which are usually elevated at the highest points in the local terrain and where possible on hilltops along the border . Depending upon international relations with the neighboring country and local strategic needs , BOPs are sometimes built with an assortment of a few administration and residential buildings or tent s , an armory , trenches , bunkers , wire obstacle s and fortified machine gun positions with a watchtower . A flagpole flying the country ' s national flag may be located on the premise along with a Wireless Communication Antenna and a designated clearing as a make - do helipad . Peacetime function . Border outposts are manned in peacetime by the border guard to check smuggling , infiltration by spies of untrusted neighboring countries , insurgents bent on smuggling weapons and explosives for terrorist attacks and subversive activities , illegal immigration and human trafficking etc . . They usually have watchtower s where soldiers are posted day and night on Sentry duty looking for intruders and illegal cross - border activity of any kind . Patrols go out regularly to patrol the international border to check illegal crossings and track any footprints of those who may have crossed over illegally or attempted to . In case intrusion by foreign elements is confirmed , it is the responsibility of the Border guard based on the BOP to trace the intruders by checking the nearby settlements , villages and towns and inform the law enforcement agencies , Customs and Police authorities . Wartime function . During wartime however the Border guard , the special forces tasked with patrolling the border in peacetime , withdraw from the Border outposts and provide assistance in a limited capacity to the country ' s regular Army which then comes and mans all the border outposts at the international border facing the enemy neighboring country . Wartime assistance of the Border guard to the Army is essential as they are familiar with the local terrain having patrolled it on a daily basis during peacetime . During wars these BOPs are reworked into well fortified dug - in positions from where regular Army unit s can operate to defend the territorial integrity of the country . See also . Non - military :
