context_page_description: RML 12-inch 35-ton guns were large rifled muzzle-loading guns used as primary armament on British battleships of the 1870s. They were the longer and more powerful of the two 12-inch British RML guns, the other being the 25-ton gun.
context_section_description: This gun design originated in 1871 as an 11.6-inch (295 mm) gun firing a 700-pound (317.5 kg) projectile. Results were unsatisfactory, leading to the gun being bored out to 12 inches (305 mm) and firing a 706-pound-12-ounce (320.6 kg) shell.
