The US fired at a similar rate as the Japanese (in many occasions actually faster, around 6 rounds per minute due to 'cue-balling'), though the Japanese tended to have more barrels of around 10, the US Navy with their typical 9 barrel setup actually outperformed their Japanese counterparts with their superior ordinance by a margin of 240 lbs. The broad side weight of Japanese Heavy Cruisers with 10 barrels is around 2,774 lbs (1,258 kg) with an ordinance weight per minute of 11,096 lbs (5,033 kg)īroadside weight with 9 barrels of 3,015 lbs (1,367.5 kg) and an ordinance weight per minute of 12,060 lbs (5,470.3 kg)īroadside weight with 10 barrels of 2,774 lbs (1,258 kg) and an ordinance weight per minute of 11,096 lbs ( 5,033 kg) (125.85 kg) shell at also 3-4 rounds a minute.
