B-2LM
"B-2LM" (Russian: "Б-2ЛМ") is a 130 mm two-gun naval artillery turret, based on the "B-13" ("Б-13") gun. Production started in 1939. "B-2LM" was established on several Soviet ships, including the destroyer leader Tashkent. However, it had a relatively low rate of fire and had a maximum elevation of 45 degrees making it incapable of anti-aircraft fire.
