Design
Design
This weapon's official designation, according to Taiwanese military journalist Lu Yi, is H/PJ-45.
The H/PJ-45 was designed by the Norinco, through experience gained from the reverse engineering of the Soviet twin-barrel AK-130 130mm naval gun. The H/PJ-45 was manufactured by the Inner Mongolia Second Machinery Manufacturing Factory. Chen Dingfeng was the general designer of the H/PJ-45. Dingfeng was also the general designer for the Type 79 100 mm naval gun, the Type 210 100 mm naval gun, and the H/PJ-26 76 mm naval gun. The Chinese navy was unsatisfied and did not let the AK-130 counterpart go into production, despite all performance parameters being met. The Chinese Navy determined the AK-130 to be out-of-date, which led to the creation of the H/PJ-45 program in 2005.
