HC Deb 05 August 1925 vol 187 cc1381-2W
Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state what is the weight of shell thrown by the 7.75-inch guns of the "Effingham" and the 6.8-inch guns of the "Furulata," respectively?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The weight of shell that can be thrown from the seven 7.5 guns of H.M.S. "Effingham" is 1,400 lbs. As, however, she can only fire six guns on each broadside, the weight of her broadside is 1,200 lbs. According to my present information, the weight of the broadside of H.I.J.M.S. "Furulata" is 1,560 lbs.
