Home›Naval Vessels And Torpedoes›Service Status›RetiredBrowse ByRetiredThis dimension marks whether a weapon system is still in active service, retired or still in development. Wikipedia notes that something repurposed or enhanced for war "is termed weaponized," a status that, like active service itself, can change over the life of a weapon system. Browsing by service status separates weapon systems still in use from those retired.FactsRetiredSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1866 1RetiredFilter Results33 entriesWeapon ClassAllBow / Crossbow (1)Guided Missile (4)Howitzer / Artillery (4)Shield / Armor (1)Submarine / Naval Vessel (9)Tank / Armored Vehicle (2)Torpedo (1)Warship / Naval Vessel (10)Weapon FamilyAllAircraft Carriers (2)Battleships and Ironclads (7)Cruisers and Destroyers (1)Depth Charges and Mine Countermeasures (1)Naval Guns (8)Submarines (2)Torpedoes (10)Introduced EraAll1859 (1)1866 (1)1885 (1)1894 (1)1899 (1)1900 (1)1906 (1)1909 (1)1914 (1)1916 (1)1920 (1)1925 (1)1928 (1)1931 (1)1933 (2)1934 (1)1936 (2)1938 (2)1939 (1)1940 (2)1941 (2)1942 (2)1943 (1)1955 (1)1956 (1)1976 (1)1979 (1)ManufacturerAllAlliant Techsystems (1)Armstrong Whitworth (1)Hotchkiss et Cie (1)KBP Instrument Design Bureau (1)Naval Ordnance Station Forest Park (1)Naval Undersea Warfare Center (2)Royal Arsenal (1)Vickers (1)William Beardmore and Company (1)OperatorAllFrench Armed Forces (1)Imperial Japanese Navy (4)Royal Navy (6)Soviet Armed Forces (1)United States Navy (12)Wehrmacht (5)CaliberAll120mm (1)127mm (1)174.8mm (1)203mm (1)280mm (2)30mm (1)356mm (1)380mm (2)406mm (1)460mm (1)533 mm (1)57mm (1)610mm (1)76.2mm (1)9.2-inch (1)Country of OriginAllAustria-Hungary (1)Empire of Japan (2)France (2)German Reich (3)Japan (1)Russia (1)Soviet Union (1)United Kingdom (3)United States (10)Wars Used InAllAmerican Civil War (1)Cold War (1)Falklands War (1)First Balkan War (1)First Indochina War (1)Gulf War (1)Korean War (4)Russo-Japanese War (1)Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 (1)Russo-Ukrainian War (1)Spanish Civil War (1)Vietnam War (3)War of the Pacific (1)Winter War (1)World War I (5)World War II (23)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 3336-pounder long gunRetired3-inch/50-caliber gunRetired5-inch/25-caliber gunRetired8-inch/55-caliber gunRetiredAK-630RetiredBismarck-Class BattleshipRetiredBL 9.2-inch Mk IX, X naval gunRetiredDepth ChargeRetiredDeutschland-Class CruiserRetiredDreadnought BattleshipRetiredEssex-Class Aircraft CarrierRetiredForrestal-Class Aircraft CarrierRetiredG7a TorpedoRetiredG7e TorpedoRetiredHiggins BoatRetiredIowa-Class BattleshipRetiredIronclad WarshipRetiredKing George V-Class BattleshipRetiredMark 14 TorpedoRetiredMark 15 TorpedoRetiredMark 37 TorpedoRetiredMark 60 CAPTORRetiredMark VIII TorpedoRetiredQF 4.7-inch Mk IX & XII naval gunRetiredQF 6-pounder HotchkissRetiredScharnhorst-Class BattleshipRetiredSubmarineRetiredTirpitzRetiredType 93 TorpedoRetiredType 95 torpedoRetiredType VII U-boatRetiredWhitehead TorpedoRetiredYamato-Class BattleshipRetiredSources1.
