The QF 5.25 inch Mark I gun was the heaviest dual-purpose gun used by the Royal Navy. Although it was a less than completely successful design it saw extensive service during the Second World War. A slightly more powerful Mk II variant was also deployed by the British Army as an anti-aircraft and coast-defence gun.
