Abstract : The Twin 30 mm Breda-Mauser Mount is available in three versions: Type A (2000-round magazine), Type B (1000-round magazine), and Type C (500- round magazine). Types A and B can be installed entirely above deck with magazine below deck or with the magazine above deck. Below deck installations satisfy the most stringent operational requirements since during weapon loading and magazine maintenance, loaders and maintenance personnel work in a protected area. Type C with its no-deck penetration requirement, is particularly suitable for small ships that do not have below deck capability. Because of its compactness, low weight, readiness for operation, complete remote control, and minimal maintenance requirement, the Twin 30-mm Breda-Mauser can be installed in ships ranging from major combatants, down to very small craft. Capability of linkage with a simplified fire control system enables installation of a high performance weapon system in ships not normally associated with sophisticated gun control.
