Summary

Description
English: 120 mm 45 calibre Canet coastal gun in Kuivasaari. This gun has been modified from original 1892 model, including rotating the gun 180 degrees so that the recoil system is on top of the barrel to increase elevation. This gun was in Finnish coastal artillery school until 1993.
Suomi: 120/45 C eli 120 mm 45 kaliiperimitan Canet rannikkotykki Kuivasaaressa. Tykkiin on tehty muutoksia alkuperäiseen 1892 malliin verrattuna, muun muassa tykki on käännetty ylösalaisin jolloin hidastin ja palautinjouset ovat putken päällä suuremman koron saamiseksi. Tykki oli rannikkotykistökoulun harjoitustykkinä aina vuoteen 1993.
