The gun barrels alone weighed 110 tonnes, and were nearly 20 metres long. The naval guns were delivered without turrets; instead they were set up in land turrets, Bettungsschiesgerüst C/39, which were both cheaper and simpler than those fitted to ships. In principle, the land turret was a large armoured shed, that housed the rear end of the gun with the breach and loading gear. The turret itself weighed 540 tons.
