Battleships equipped with these guns played a key role in the Battle of Jutland during World War I, and in numerous actions in World War II, including at Matapan, and in operations in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea.

The operational period of these barrels spans 1915-1945, covering World War I, the interwar period, and the final actions of World War II. They were used by both powerful battleships and artillery monitors supporting land operations.
