Canon de 90 mm Modèle 1926

The Canon de 90 mm Modèle 1926 was a light-caliber dual-purpose gun used as primary armament on minesweeping sloops and anti-aircraft armament on a number of French Navy cruisers and battleships during World War II.

The Canon de Modèle 1926 had an autofretted barrel and a Schneider semi-automatic breech mechanism.
