The 14"/50 caliber gun was a naval gun mounted on New Mexico- and Tennessee-class battleships. These ships also featured the first "three-gun" turrets, meaning that each gun in each turret could be "individually sleeved" to elevate separately (however, they could be linked so they would elevate as a unit, similar to the triple turrets on other Navy ships). The 14"/50 caliber guns were designated as Mark 4 and 6, with later versions known as Mark 7, 11, and B. These guns were more powerful than the main gun mounted on the previous two classes of US battleships (the Nevada and Pennsylvania classes), the 14"/45 caliber gun.
