Gigantea Class twin Mount.

History

Developed from the Experimental 450mm/50 Mark "U" M/1919 gun, which was made for the gigantous warships of the Gigantea class, built to Rivalize the slightly larger Mount Sherley battleships class from Nifila-Goeland. This was the largest Caliber ever assembled on a capital ship of the Jasmine Kingdom. It's rounds were so expensive for the Jasmine Industries and the astounding advances of the Nifila-Goeland Engineering that they considered the conversion of the Gigantea Class into a carrier and use their Guns for coastal defenses as those would be no match against their Faster Battleships.
