Historical Information:

The Type-89 127mm 40cal gun was the main anti-aircraft weapon of most larger vessels of the Japanese fleet during World War II (1932–1945). It was installed, among others, on the aircraft carrier Akagi, Yamato-class battleships, and Mogami- and Agano-class cruisers. Its design allowed it to engage both air and surface targets, making it exceptionally versatile during the intense warfare in the Pacific.
