History

The Canet Pattern 1891 was a pre-Soviet multi-purpose naval gun designed by French engineer Gustave Canet. Presented to the Imperial Russian Navy in 1891, the Russian began licensed production in 1892 at both the Perm plant and Obukhov until 1922. Initially seeing action during the 1899-1901 Boxer Rebellion and the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War, this anti-torpedo boat gun was given a new anti-aircraft mount in 1914 with 50 degrees of elevation. The mount was further improved to 70 degrees in 1916 and later 75 degrees in the 1920s. A standard secondary or tertiary armament of ships in the Imperial Russian Navy in the years before and during World War I, the guns were inherited by the Soviet Navy after the October Revolution in 1917.

The notable ships to use this gun in Soviet service include the dreadnought Poltava (renamed the Frunze in Soviet service), her sister ship the Sevastopol which was renamed the Parizhskaya kommuna, the Imperatritsa Mariya-class dreadnoughts, Bogatyr-class cruiser Oleg, Pallada-class cruiser Aurora, and some of the Bars-class submarines were in Imperial Russian Naval service before they formed the nucleus of the nascent Soviet Navy after the Russian Revolution. The Admiral Nakhimov-class and Svetlana-class light cruisers were still being built when the revolution occurred and entered service in Soviet hands. The Komintern, another Bogatyr-class ship, was first seized by the short-lived Ukrainian's People Republic after the February Revolution in 1917 before being integrated into the Soviet Navy when Ukraine was absorbed into the USSR. The Morzh-class submarine Nerpa was undergoing a refit when the Russian Revolution occurred and was recommissioned as the Politruk in 1922. The Soviet Navy would also use the 75 mm Canet in the coastal defense role. By 1941, it is estimated that 69 were still in Soviet service.

The Russians and Soviets were not the only nations to use this cannon. When Tsar Nicholas II was deposed in the February Revolution of 1917, different groups were quick to throw off the Russian yolk and declare independence and sometimes seized these guns left behind. Finland notably had 100 guns left over from coastal artillery installations and like the Soviets, they would be kept in service through World War II as both coastal artillery and on ships. A notable Finnish ship class to use the Canet 75 mm 1891 was the Rautu-class, a pair of minesweepers left by the Soviets who considered it too risky to sail back to Leningrad.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
