This book introduces one of the elements of armament of Russian surface ships - artillery. Unfortunately, the modern reader, interested in the history of the development and creation of the Navy of the Russian Federation, is little familiar with the artillery weapons of surface ships. The author hopes that with his book he managed to fill this gap. The main goal pursued by the author when creating this work is to inform the reader about the classification, principles of placement and material part of modern Russian ship artillery installations, as well as to briefly consider the concept of an artillery complex and its composition on the basis of actually created samples.
