History
The 10mm/55 MLE 53 is a French naval cannon developed in 1953. As France found their interwar and World War II era arsenal of naval guns was obsolete when the war ended, they began developed a new multi-role weapon. The result became the MLE 53 a 100mm cannon that replaced the 127mm and 57mm cannons service and optimized to serve as an anti-ship, anti-aircraft and shore bombardment weapon. The MLE 53 version of the design is an automatic weapon, but the first round is manually loaded with the remaining rounds loaded from the recoil operation. Alongside France, the guns are used by Argentina, Belgium, China, Portugal, Turkey, Brazil, Saudi-Arabia, and the focus of this article, Germany.
Germany mounts the MLE 53 on two class of ships. These ships are the Köln-class frigates, such as the Köln and Lübeck, and the Hamburg-class destroyers. Both classes have been retired, but the MLE 53 and its variants remain in service with France and other nations around the world.
