Historical Information

The Japanese Type 96 25mm gun was the primary anti-aircraft weapon of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II. It was the standard anti-aircraft defense element on IJN battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and aircraft carriers from 1936 to 1945. This weapon played a significant role in defending against Allied air attacks during such battles as the Battle of Midway and the engagements around the Solomon Islands.
