BL 14 inch Mk VII naval gun The BL 14 inch Mk VII naval gun was designed for the battleship s of the Royal Navy in the late 1930s . This gun armed the battleships during the Second World War . Background . The choice of calibre was limited by the Second London Naval Treaty , an extension of the Washington Naval Treaty which set limits on the size armament and number of battleships constructed by the major powers . After disappointing experiences with the combination of high velocity but relatively light shell in the BL 16 inch / 45 naval gun of the s , the British reverted to the combination of lower velocities and ( relatively ) heavier shells in this weapon . Design . These built - up gun s were constructed using a non wire wound radial expansion design which was an advance on previous British practice with a longer barrel life and better accuracy . Unfortunately , the choice of mountings was for quadruple turrets , and in practice these developed a reputation as being unreliable with the turrets jamming during battle . However , it has been argued that these jams were typically caused by errors in drill , either due to lack of gun crew training , as was the case when the newly commissioned engaged the in the Battle of the Denmark Strait ( 1941 ) , or due to crew fatigue resulting from the prolonged nature of the engagement , as was the case when engaged " Bismarck " in 1941 , and engaged in the Battle of North Cape ( 1943 ) . Coastal guns . " Main article Cross - Channel guns in the Second World War . " Two guns , nicknamed Winnie and Pooh , were also mounted in World War II as coastal artillery near Dover to engage German batteries across the Channel in occupied France .
