Description
The prototype for this gun was proved on 8 April 1918 and production started soon afterwards, but these guns were destined never to be used on a warship. They were originally intended for the Lexington (CC-1) class battlecruisers and for the South Dakota (BB-49) class battleships, all of which were cancelled in 1922 as a result of the Washington Naval Limitation Treaty. In the late 1930s, it was planned to use these weapons to arm the Iowa class (BB-61) battleships but, through a comedy of errors, the ship barbette design and the mounting design were incompatible with each other. This forced BuOrd into a new gun design and development for the Iowa class battleships, which fortunately resulted in the excellent 16'/50 (40.6 cm) Mark 7.
As a result of these ship cancellations and redesigns, most of these Mark 2 and Mark 3 guns wound up being used by the US Army as Coast Defense Artillery. Twenty guns were transferred between 1922 and 1924 and all but three of the remaining guns were transferred in January 1941 following the Iowa fiasco. The Army considered these guns to be excellent weapons in that role and used them along with their own 16'/50 (40.6 cm) M1919. By August 1945 there were forty of these ex-naval guns in active coast defense batteries.
The Mark 2 was constructed of a liner, A tube, jacket, seven hoops, four hoop-locking rings and a screw box liner. Mod 0 had increasing twist while Mod 1 had uniform twist with a different groove pattern. The Mark 3 was very similar to the Mark 2, the only difference being that the Mark 3 had a one-step conical liner. Mark 3 Mod 0 had increasing twist while Mod 1 had uniform twist. When cancelled in 1922, 71 guns including the prototype had been completed and another 44 were in progress.
At least five of these guns still exist at this time (2019):
16'/50 (40.6 cm) Mark 2 No. 96 at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, Virginia
16'/50 (40.6 cm) Mark 2 No. 100 at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, Virginia
16'/50 (40.6 cm) Mark 2 No. 111 at the U.S. Navy Museum, Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC
16'/50 (40.6 cm) Mark 2 Mod 1, No. 114 on the Island of Barbados
16”/50 (40.6 cm) Mark 3 Mod 1, No. 138 at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland
The Mark 2 Mod 1 No. 114 gun was used as part of the High Altitude Research Project (HARP) of the 1960s and was left in place. Two other 16' (40.6 cm) gun barrels were welded together to create an extra long gun which now lies abandoned on Barbados. See photographs below.
A Note on Sources: It is stated in some of the references listed below that no Mark 3 guns were ever completed. This is incorrect, as there were at least two Mark 3 guns completed: The 16'/50 (40.6 cm) Mark 3 Mod 1 gun on display at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds Museum in Maryland and the Mark 3 Mod 1 No. 131 gun that was later modified as a prototype for the Mark 7 and was then redesignated as the Mark D Mod 0. This error is apparently due to notes in the BuOrd publication OP 127 'United States Naval Guns: Their Marks and Modifications' of 1942 which states 'No Guns' for both the Mark 3 and the Mark 3 Mod 1. I believe that these BuOrd notes actually mean 'no guns in active naval service' as they had all been transferred to the Army as described above or were being used for testing purposes.
The US Army's 16'/50 (40.6 cm) M1919 coastal defense gun was an almost completely different design and was one of the few wire wound guns ever built in the USA. It weighed nearly 24 tons (25 mt) more than the Mark 2 and was about 0.5 calibers longer. A total of eight of these guns were built with six being used in three two-gun coastal defense batteries, the first of which was installed during 1923-1924 at Battery Williston, on the west side of the entrance to Pearl Harbor, 'where they had a field of fire that completely encircled the island of Oahu [Hawaii] and reached beyond its shores at every point' - from 'Seacoast Fortifications of the United States.' The other two batteries were installed at Long Island, New York and at Boston, Massachusetts. All other 16' (40.6 cm) coastal batteries used the former naval guns.

- ^The AP Mark 12 was the Navy AP Mark 5 with a different fuze.
- ^These charge weights for the Coastal Defense batteries are not misprints. The lighter projectile did indeed use a larger propellant charge. This may have been to allow both projectiles to use the same range table at longer ranges
- ^Shell stowage for the South Dakota class was to be as follows:
Each mounting had 212 projectiles distributed as follows:
62 projectiles in the shell handling room
138 projectiles in the turret stool
12 projectiles in the shell hoistsIn addition, Turret #2 had 48 projectiles on the third deck. There were an additional 541 projectiles stowed in shell rooms on the first platform deck. In all, the planned stowage was a total of 1,437 projectiles.

These ranges are for the coast defense mounting in World War II. By way of comparison, the Army's 16'/50 (40.6 cm) M1919 gun at a muzzle velocity of 2,700 fps (823 mps) and a 48 degree elevation using a 2,340 lbs. (1,061 kg) AP projectile had a range of 49,140 yards (44,930 m).

- ^Turret II on the South Dakota class was a secondary command position, hence the extra weight.
- ^The maximum training speed using the primary motors was 100 degrees per minute and the minimum was 0.25 degrees per minute. The auxiliary electric motor could train at 25 degrees per minute. Manual training by hand was about 1.77 degrees per minute.
- Each gun had its own shell and powder hoists. In addition, the South Dakota class had auxiliary shell and powder hoists on both sides of the turrets.
- Guns on the South Dakota class were individually sleeved with a 50 HP 400 rpm electric motor driving each elevation screw. Each rammer was driven by two 50 HP 600 rpm electric motors coupled to a common shaft. There was a 0.1875 in (0.48 cm) bulkhead between each gun, but the gun compartments may not have been individually flashtight. It is believed that the turrets for the Lexington class would have been similar in design to those of the South Dakota class but with thinner armor.
