ARMED LAUNCH

ARMED LAUNCH’S HISTORY

This type of 10-meter-long armed launch was used by the different navies during the 19th century. These launches were armed with naval guns of different caliber and types; in the bow section a cannon or carronade was installed while in the stern two more light, small cannons were placed to be aimed by hand.

Usually, these boats were employed in coastal patrols or in escort services but, also demonstrated their wartime capacity in surprise actions attacking craft in difficulty or anchored or at roadstead. Due to their remarkable maneuverability, they were also in great numbers during landing actions, preceding the main fleet which moved slower and was more vulnerable.

The bow cannon, placed on a wooden structure, attached to the first benches, slid back and forth, recoiling on two slits made on the two carrying guides, and was maneuvered by two forward and aft-placed tackles. Mast and sail during the surprise actions were lowered on the benches to proceed and use the oars and to delay as long as possible the interception from the part of the enemy.
