The 320 mm naval gun was the main battery gun used to modernize Italy's World War I battleships for service during World War II.{{sfn|Breyer|1973|pp=374–380}} The guns were manufactured by boring out and relining the battleships' original 12"/46 (30 cm) built-up guns and modifying the turrets to increase elevation above the original 20°  maximum. Each ship carried two 548-tonne twin turrets and two 745-tonne triple turrets. All guns used pneumatically operated side-swing Welin breech blocks. Each barrel could fire two rounds per minute.{{sfn|Campbell|1985|pp=322–324}}

In service these guns chronically suffered of great horizontal dispersion, both from the worsened thermodynamic performance of the guns themselves and from the unequal quality of the shells fired.[1]

M1934 guns

The {{sclass-|Conte di Cavour|battleship|2}}s {{ship|Italian battleship|Conte di Cavour||2}} and {{ship|Italian battleship|Giulio Cesare||2}} originally mounted 13 guns as built in 1915 and 1914. These ships were rebuilt between 1933 and 1937 by removing the Q triple turret amidships and replacing guns in triple A turret, twin B and X turrets, and triple Y turret. Conte di Cavour carried Vickers Mk G guns while Giulio Cesare carried Pattern T guns built by Elswick Ordnance Company. Odero Terni Orlando (OTO) re-bored the Vickers guns while the Elswick guns were re-bored by Gio. Ansaldo & C.. Maximum gun elevation was increased to 27°.{{sfn|Campbell|1985|pp=322–324}}

M1936 guns

The {{sclass-|Andrea Doria|battleship|2}}s {{ship|Italian battleship|Andrea Doria||2}} and {{ship|Italian battleship|Caio Duilio||2}} originally mounted 13 guns as built in 1916 and 1915. These ships were similarly rebuilt between 1937 and 1940 by removing Q turret and replacing guns in A, B, X, and Y turrets. Pattern T guns aboard Caio Duilio were similarly rebuilt by Ansaldo while Mk G guns aboard Andrea Doria were rebuilt by OTO. Maximum gun elevation was increased to 30°.{{sfn|Campbell|1985|pp=322–324}}

Ammunition

The gun was loaded with four cloth bags each containing {{convert|44|kg}} of smokeless powder. High explosive (HE) shells weighed only {{convert|458|kg|lb|sigfig=3}}. Anticipated useful barrel life was 150 effective full charges (EFC).{{sfn|Campbell|1985|pp=322–324}}
