History
The Meiji era of Japanese history was marked by a desire to modernize the Imperial Armed Forces often by modelling their tactics and military after those in the West and adopting weapons from western sources. The 3-inch/40 Type 41 (adopted in 1908, the 41st year of the Meiji era) for example was the designation given to 3 inch 12 pounder 12 cwt guns first purchased from Elswick and Vickers but later license-built by Japan. Fitted as the secondary or tertiary armaments on various warships used by the Imperial Japanese Navy between 1890 and 1920 including the Kawachi-class dreadnought IJN Settsu and Tsukuba-class cruiser IJN Ikoma. A built-up naval gun with multiple layers of steel, the guns remained in service through World War II.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
