In the Naval Gun Projects thread on Secret Projects forum, there appeared a few pictures of the United Defense NG^2 155 mm naval gun.
Advertisments in Proceedings in the nineties, apparently, and that's all the info available. This drawing should be roughly to scale.

Looking the drawings over, it seems that the gun tube could be elevated up to vertical: This might be a VLG (Vertical Load Gun) with a stealthy gun shield. Which means that it weighs roughly as much as the MK-45 naval gun.

Smaller but with a larger caliber actually.

There were a number of advertisements for a vertical-load 155mm of Mk45-like size floating around in that era. Given that such a weapon would be used for prolonged shore bombardment, in which case the limiting factor for sustained ROF is barrel overheating, continuing to use a vertical loader makes a great deal of sense.

I think it's very likely to be a later iteration of that same design.

I know that the earlier VLG designs were posted, but I can't find em anywhere. Do you still have them?

Actually, I was under the impression that someone (and Erik's name actually stuck in my mind) had already done them in Shipbucket format :D
