| During World War I, the British 18 inch Mk I was conceived and manufactured, and it was installed on the HMS Furious. The Furious, on the other hand, was transformed during construction, and two of its three turrets were installed on two Lord Clive-class monitors. Despite being slightly smaller than the later Japanese Type 94, the Mk I's shell weighed more - 3320 pounds. The guns were used late in the war, with one shelling a railway bridge in August 1918 and the other firing ahead of advancing forces in October 1918. A third gun was also built, although it was never used during the war.
