Mk 45 Mod 4 Lightweight Naval Gun

The Mark 45 (Mk 45) is a U.S. Navy’s lightweight naval gun mount, employed against surface and land targets. The gun mount includes a 20 round automatic loader drum (16-20 rounds per minute).

The Mk 45 Mod 4 gun mount upgrade includes a longer barrel (62 caliber versus 54 caliber of the older versions) that improves the gun’s effectiveness. The Mk 45 mod 4 uses a modified flat-panel gun turret, designed to reduce its radar signature.
