BL 4 inch Mk IX naval gun The BL 4 - inch gun Mk IX was a British medium - velocity naval gun introduced in 1916 as secondary armament on the " Renown " - class battlecruisers and " Glorious " - class " large light cruisers " , but which served most notably as the main armament on Flower - class corvette s throughout World War II . History . World War I . The gun was based on the barrel of the QF 4 inch Mk V and the breech mechanism of the BL 4 inch Mk VIII and was first introduced in World War I on capital ship s as secondary armament in triple - gun mountings , intended to provide rapid concentrated fire . This turned out to be unworkable in practice : Jane ' s Fighting Ships of 1919 commented : " 4 - inch triples are clumsy and not liked . They are not mounted in one sleeve ; have separate breech mechanism : gun crew of 23 to each triple " . Guns were thereafter used in single - gun mountings , typically on smaller ships as primary armament . World War II . In World War II the gun was employed on many small warships such as Flower - class corvette s and minesweepers , primarily for action against surfaced submarines . This was the last BL 4 inch gun in British service : all subsequent guns have used charges in metal cartridges " QF " . It was succeeded on new small warships built in World War II by the QF 4 - inch Mk XIX gun which fired a slightly heavier shell at much lower velocity . External links . < br >

Hydna trained by her father , Scyllis of Scione , who , tradition says , dived into the very deepest parts of every sea , had played in ocean since infancy . As an expert swimmer , he taught his daughter Hydna to dive well into the deepest parts of the sea . When the fleet of Xerxes was attacked by a violent storm off Mount Pelion , father and daughter completed its destruction by dragging away under the sea the anchors and any other security the triremes had . Together , they swam through some ten miles of choppy , storm - tossed waters to where the Persian navy was moored for the night . Knives in hand , they silently swam among the boats , cutting their moorings . Tossed about by the wind and waves , the ships crashed together ; some sank ; most were crippled . And so battle was avoided for the time being . In gratitude for the heroism shown by Hydna and her Father , the Amphictyons dedicated statues to them at Delphi , the most sacred site of the Greek world . Beside the Gorgias is a votive offering of the Amphictyons towards father and daughter .
