DescriptionHMS Thunderer burst RML 12 inch gun diagram.jpg |
Diagrams showing how the left RML 12 inch 38 ton gun in the forward turret on British battleship HMS Thunderer (1872) probably burst in January 1879. The gun was double-loaded by mistake, and the bursting of the barrel was replicated later using the right gun from the same turret, hence probably verifying what had occurred.
Bottom diagram shows how the gun burst in the recreation of the event. |
