Naval autocannon: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

Naval autocannon turrets are most commonly found as the secondary armaments aboard the [[cruiser]]s of the CMA and UNSC - with these vessels generally being the only ones large enough to mount a large amount of the massive turret installations. UNSC [[battleship]]s do employ some autocannons though primarily focus on their much larger "super" MACs, while [[UNSC carrier|carriers]] may employ them in a limited capacity to augment their primary MAC in ship defence. Smaller ships such as heavier [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]] and [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] may also mount a smaller number of naval coilguns, with some [[UNSC corvette|corvettes]] integrating them entirely into the raw spaceframe of the vessel. One such vessel, the {{Class|Lancer|fast-attack corvette|}}, has four [[LNT-450 naval coilgun]]s built into the basic superstructure of the ship in a manner similar to that of the keel-mounted primary [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s of larger vessels as opposed to the rotational turrets of its larger cousins. Naval coilguns are typically more prominent on the destroyers and frigates which do not see as much emphasis placed on their MAC systems - such as the {{Class|Diligence|light destroyer}}, {{Class|Hillsborough|heavy destroyer}} and {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}.
