120mm/50 Bofors M1950

History

The M1950 was developed during the 1940's as an intermediate weapon between the 152mm and 57mm guns. The mounting was first shown to the public in 1950 and were operationally used by the Royal Netherlands Navy from 1954 onwards and by the Swedish navy from 1955 onwards. The British Royal Navy inspected one in 1953, but rejected it because it was too heavy, too noisy and not gas- or flash-tight.

Used on

• Holland class
• Halland class
• Siete de Julio Class
