HMAS Canberra (FFG 02) was a US built Oliver Hazard Perry frigate. Commissioned in March 1981 and decommissioned in November 2005 The gun featured in the video was an Italian designed and built OTO Melara 76mm gun.
When heading into a heightened readiness scenario ( typically forcing combat or expecting combat) the crews wear anti-flash gear. this stops flames, phosphors etc from burning them too badly and also stops it going up their arms and legs. They don'y need it all the time while operating since the standard working uniform is flame retardant anyway. It helped a hell of a lot of men in the Falklands war where ships were lost primarily because of fire from damage rather than the damage itself.
100% correct - Any possible Damage Control style scenario or exercise this would be worn. It's a requirement to carry at all times while at sea just in case. It's 100% cotton flash protection.
The revolving magazine holds 70 rounds. They can cycle the rounds up to the last stage before firing the gun. So, there's 6 rounds in the screw feeder and 4 rounds in the loader drum for a grand total of 80 rounds. The gun can fire at a rate of 10, 20, 40, 60, or 80 rounds per minute. So, to answer your question...is takes 1 minute or less to empty the guns magazine.
Dang it was firing so fast I thought it was a double barrel till I looked at it real close. Wow would not want to be on the receiving end of that beast
Not so, it's designed to protect against flash (Heat and light from explosions) hence the name, 'anti flash'. Once the heat protection covering is removed, simply by washing it, it is simply a piece of fabric. I know, I spent 2 years on the Fireground at Creswell, JBRF.
the NEW ones are quite a bit faster, actually, having the €€€ it’s much better to deploy two 76 mm than a single 100 or 127 mm as basically you have a 76mm MACHINE GUN ... which is much better than any other 30mm rotary CIWS... anything that requires a large caliber cannon is best done with missiles anyway...
@@ronaldthompson4989 you're both right (and both wrong). For a missile you need incredibly high cyclic rates ... If you're shooting at something which has enough armor to stop a 30mm ... or a 76mm ...... then, yeah, you need the bigger round (perhaps with a penetrator (sabot) element)
Italian OTO Melara 76mm cannon! The best naval weapon in the world! Selling numbers speech by itself! Btw the newer one "SuperRapid" can shoot 50% faster (120rpm)! With the self guided DART ammunitions is better than CIWS for proximity defense!
To put things into perspective, this is like a sherman firefly with the fire rate of a bushmaster M242 used on the Bradley except it can reach targets beyond visual range. I assume these are water cooled from the water spraying from the front of the barrel, and I can see why.
That was bad ass. Would love to see what that kind of barrage would do to a hard target. Anyway, thumbs up to ya'll, our Aussie friends! Just remember we Americans have your back and we love Australia. I'm tellin ya'll, if an Aussie were to hang out in a bar/pub one night with some American mates, especially here in Tennessee, I bet you wouldn't have to pay for a single thing all night. I can't stress to ya'll how much we love the good folks from "The Land Down Under" and New Zealand as well.
After the 76mm shoots, would collect as many shells as possible and stash them in the fan room at the back of the bridge to sell them as rabbits, 76mm as well as .50cal if it landed near the bridge or flagbins, they were mine.
Great footage. A couple of questions for those in the know. What are the blue/yellow band rounds? I'm guessing the olive drab/yellow band is HE. How are the cartridge cases disposed? Are they recycled or just throw overboard?
Chan Maneesilasan I think that most guns have a netting system around the turret to catch the empty shell cases. I don't know what the individual colours are but like you say, probably for high explosive/incendiary high explosive/training rounds/armour piercing high explosive/etc.
Shells a bit big for duck shooting but a damn good volley . Surely a few of those rounds hammered shit out of the desired target and made it inoperable.
I wonder how much the rounds cost each? I'd be surprised if they are less than $500 per shell, I would be surprised if they are allowed to fire live rounds more than a few times a year. Very impressive though and I bet that it only needs a few rounds to completely destroy an attacking plane.
Payedmercenary the problem is if the enemy decides to use a saturation attack, with a dozen missiles or UAV's etc. In that case even the best CIWS would be overwhelmed by the incoming missiles.
how many rounds does the magazine hold and how long does it take to empty the magazine i noticed there was atleast 2 differant types of rounds what were they?
@kimmer6 Yeah they did off Melbourne. Would be a lot of work to maintain it as a museum. They make a lot of money from it when they are are a dive wreck.
@@lyntoncollins2758 I saw the water and steam coming out of the barrel cooling ports so now we know the barrel has cooling liquid going around it to assist with cooling
In a survival situation (as in no guarantee of getting back to port and all matanance is at sea or at the shores of uninhabited islands and material is often salvage from enemy hulls) The smart thing to do would be to smelt the cases shape them into bullets and use them and reserve powder to reload other cases with them.
@@bullstuff3938 True if you use the ship magazine loader.... But why not build a drone stealth tank has a belt loader that can load and shot 6 shot per minute plus a system of auto am and fire while driving at full speed. This smart auto tank would be awesome!
That, looks like a waste of ammunition. You would think if you are going to waste 80 rounds of ammunition it could at least be directed to several target scenarios.
Geeze boys even with water cooled barrel the inside becomes smaller and tears groves into it I wasn't saying it was going to ruin the barrel. But I know nothing though I've fired 155mm thousands of times. Have any of you. And you don't know for sure it's even water cooled , they may have done that because it was time to change the barrel neways. They don't last forever.
@@tantoismailgoldstein6279 This the OTO-Melara 76 mm/62 (3") Compact, in US navy nomenclature the 76 mm/62 (3") Mark 75. It is a duel purpose naval gun design for both air defense and surface attack. It can fire one 14 pound (6kg) shell per second with the newer versions able to double that to 2 per second. It has a high pressure water jacket around the barrel to cool it to allow for sustain firing.

76mn OTO Melaras are such cool cannons

The men wore nylon beforehand. Imagine being on fire while the stuff melts on your skin while still burning. Another rule written in blood.

Cost per shell?
@@mikesmith8278 about 2000€. At least that is what I have heard.
Video of the target would be nice. This is like watching horseshoe pitching without seeing the stake.

Fishes: DIVE!!! DIVE!!!
Look at that mountain of brass and the cooling water steaming
Very impressive! Glad they are our allies!
That is a BEAST of a gun ,hard to recover from something like this, WOW!!
Just amazing, I would not want to be on the other end. Give em hell Aussies.
They need to start in Victoria.
Poder de fogo impressionante!!!!
ty for awsnering my question it looks like a awesome weapon to fire cheers mate
it was
That is "Hot Water" cooling for sure !! Lol
The New Italian76mm OTO Super Rapid w/David ammo on the IT and French
"Fremm" FFG are even Faster now !!
literally about twice as fast.
120 rpm to the older (this gun) 60rpm
they use salt water first then at the end they flush it with fresh
Faster but the barrels wear out faster too, so the manufacturer recommends a slower rate of fire unless absolutely necessary…
Now thats a huge revolver.
When it started to fire my face was like this 😑😵😳 now thats power.
cool thankyou mate hope you have a good day
It's called anti-flash(in the UK anyway) and yes, it is designed to protect crews from fire.
Yep we call it anti-flash in OZ too :)

I use to think those guns didn't pack much of a punch but now I see they do.
Interesting that this was posted in 2009. The same year that this ship was sunk as a dive site off Victoria.
Shells must have been about to hit their used by date.
they didn't look like they leaked either

I want one of those brass shells.. actually a few of them. that would make one cool coffee table or end tables.. or lamps bases..

Different color projectille.like percing round or inciendary round.
This Looks like an Old American Perry Class Fast Frigate!
Australian built
@@leandro9311 No, not Australian built. HMAS Melbourne and Newcastle were locally built.
You are right, we bought 4, and built two in Australia.
I like how by the end of the firing, the cooling water just comes out as steam. 😂😂
Shells a bit big for duck shooting but a damn good volley . Surely a few of those rounds hammered shit out of the desired target and made it inoperable.
Why no visuals on the targets? Maybe all missed the mark.
so cool
Naah; I reckon the barrel probably got damn hot... ha ha
Nice! But did they hit what they were shooting at?
former Perry Class? Brings back memories!
Oto Melara 76mm

와 굿~이게 훈련이지 멋지다 한국은 몇발쏘고 끝인데 역시 클래스가 달라
I think Cho got lost while looking for anime.
I think you are looking at it a bit simplistic, drones can perform only a narrow range of tasks, each to there own.
you gonna keep that brass?
Quite a piece of machinery under deck not to mention the manpower. Do they recycle all those shell casings?
Yes :)
unforgiving machine,great pics mates.
เก็บมาหมดแล้ว
Imagine catching a stray one of those.
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
lol I picked up 4 of them from Aussie Disposals a few years back :D
That's a sweet Lullaby
Perry class. Nice🎩👌
@Designandrew false, the ships CWIS will shoot the missiles from the drone mid air before they hit the boat.
Payedmercenary the problem is if the enemy decides to use a saturation attack, with a dozen missiles or UAV's etc. In that case even the best CIWS would be overwhelmed by the incoming missiles.
Sadly no video on impact area.
Is that destrying a barrel?
nice view of a whiskey antenna
so it's water cooled...good shoot mates
Ooh baby!
Впечатляет.
Makes me think of a Full Auto M4 sherman :)
Nice Brass pile...I want it.
that automatic loading system is like a future technology
This is the old version. There’s a super fast new version.
The loading system was disegned by OtoMelara in early '60s
where are they aiming
Command
Reload.
Gunners are like, wtf really all that work and he fucking missed?
Weird how they mix the HE and Inert
Iirc these can do doubletime per min in a pinch but you're ruining the barrell.
tx
You mean the pencil pushers actually allowed live-fire?
It must have been someones birthday.
goatboy live firings are pretty regular for the 12 years I was in.
yeah, my guess is, around 25-30k per year
This is the Canberra that was scuttled to be a wreck dive site , right?
Yes!
Uff que rico se escucha ese 76 mm
Does the job
One hopes it escapes its predecessor's fate.
how many rounds does the magazine hold and how long does it take to empty the magazine i noticed there was atleast 2 differant types of rounds what were they?
This is a full empty magazine shots!
Why don't the empty cases go right over the side . Instead of cluttering up the deck ? In an action they would be bound to get in some ones way !
@kimmer6 Yeah they did off Melbourne. Would be a lot of work to maintain it as a museum. They make a lot of money from it when they are are a dive wreck.
what for is head cover for sailors who loading on the start, protection from fire or something else?
Fire.
you can blow up planets with those bullets
Really would have like to see what they were shooting at.
Who would Australia shoot at?
How hot does that barrel get after that amount of rounds going through it?
RED - should see it at night, it glows :)
I made the mistake of picking up a 5.56 mm barrel after 200 rounds, I had blisters for days :)
@@lyntoncollins2758 I saw the water and steam coming out of the barrel cooling ports so now we know the barrel has cooling liquid going around it to assist with cooling
It's water cooled so 100°C
What do they do with all the cases
Arts and crafts. Lots and lots of barely recognizable bird sculptures.
In a survival situation (as in no guarantee of getting back to port and all matanance is at sea or at the shores of uninhabited islands and material is often salvage from enemy hulls) The smart thing to do would be to smelt the cases shape them into bullets and use them and reserve powder to reload other cases with them.
Refurbish, reload and reuse.
They make ashtrays with them lol no they reload them.
Enough shell casings for a good end of trip piss up.
all those shell cases.
full steam ahead,
back to port and down the scrap yard cobber.
No automatic loading? That's gotta suck for those guys who do loading
That is lots lots money 💰 dropping in the ocean. I hope they good outcomes on the return.
Era of colonism was ended.
@@MohitYadav-cq4ud Explain, explain!
I hope they good outcomes on the return, what on earth does that mean?
Can't we have this auto Cannon be put into a tank? Like the M1A2 replacement?
Scotty MSU the damn magazine is bigger than a tank

Barrel Change!
Every freisland player in smoke
no way!
That, looks like a waste of ammunition. You would think if you are going to waste 80 rounds of ammunition it could at least be directed to several target scenarios.
Oliver hazard class frigate
Impressive, anyone know how many rounds per???
85. And that's the old version. The new ones can fire at 120, so one round every 0.5 seconds.
Are you Sure this is the Canberra? It looks like a cruiser to me?
This is HMAS Canberra (II), an Adelaide-Class guided missile frigate. This Canberra decommissioned in 2005 and was sunk as a dive site.
I dont think the enemy was hit at all.
