Some of US Navy's Deck Guns Firepower Assets: Live Fire - Downrange Shoot Footage of the MK-45, the MK-38, and the MK-76 Navy deck guns.
A deck gun is a type of naval artillery mounted on the deck of a submarine. Similar unenclosed guns are often found on surface ships as secondary or defensive armament, although the term "deck gun" normally refers only to submarine-mounted guns. Most submarine deck guns were open, however a few larger submarines placed these guns in a turret.
The deck gun was used as a defensive weapon against smaller boats or ships and in certain cases where torpedo use was limited. Typically a crew of three; gunner, loader and layer (pointer, trainer, and loader in the US), operated the gun, while others were tasked with supplying ammunition. A small locker box held a few 'ready-use' rounds. With a well-drilled, experienced crew, the rate of fire of a deck gun could be 15 to 18 aimed shots per minute.
