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 Results24 entriesWeapon Type or ClassAllAcoustic torpedo (1)Aircraft carrier (3)anti-submarine warfare (ASW) weapon (1)Anti-surface ship torpedo (2)armored warship (1)Close-in weapon system (1)electric torpedo (1)Fast battleship (2)heavyweight torpedo (1)naval anti-aircraft gun (1)Naval gun (3)naval vessel (2)Nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) (1)Torpedo (2)U-boat (1)CaliberAll120mm (1)127mm (1)203mm (1)30mm (1)356mm (1)406mm (1)57mm (1)610mm (1)9.2-inch (1)Introduced EraAll1859 (1)1866 (1)1885 (1)1894 (1)1899 (1)1914 (1)1916 (1)1925 (1)1928 (1)1931 (1)1933 (1)1936 (2)1938 (1)1940 (1)1942 (2)1943 (1)1955 (1)1956 (1)1976 (2)1983 (1)1995 (1)OperatorAllImperial Japanese Navy (1)Royal Navy (4)United States Navy (6)Wars Used InAllAmerican Civil War (1)Falklands War (1)First Balkan War (1)First Indochina War (1)Korean War (4)Russo-Japanese War (1)Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 (1)Syrian Civil War (1)Vietnam War (2)War of the Pacific (1)Winter War (1)World War I (4)World War II (16)ManufacturerAllArmstrong 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)BrowseCompareSelect all 245-inch/25-caliber gunRetired8-inch/55-caliber gunRetiredAdmiral Kuznetsov Aircraft CarrierRetiredAK-630RetiredBL 9.2-inch Mk IX, X naval gunRetiredDepth ChargeRetiredEssex-Class Aircraft CarrierRetiredForrestal-Class Aircraft CarrierRetiredG7e TorpedoRetiredHiggins BoatRetiredIowa-Class BattleshipRetiredIronclad WarshipRetiredKing George V-Class BattleshipRetiredLos Angeles-Class SubmarineRetiredMark 14 TorpedoRetiredMark 15 TorpedoRetiredMark 37 TorpedoRetiredQF 4.7-inch Mk IX & XII naval gunRetiredQF 6-pounder HotchkissRetiredSubmarineRetiredTigerfish TorpedoRetiredType 93 TorpedoRetiredType VII U-boatRetiredWhitehead TorpedoRetiredSources1.
