OTO SMP-3
History
The first iteration of OTO's famous rapid-fire 76mm gunsm with the designation meaning "Stabilimenti Meccanici di Pozzuoli - cannone da 3 pollici" (Pozzuoli Mechanical Plants - 3 inch cannon). This mount had one cannon, but was succeeded by the twin mount found on the Centauro-class frigates.
The SMP-3 equipped only the Albatros-class corvettes, but was replaced with 40mm mounts due to its unreliability.
