The name

[edit]

Why do you name this gun "B13", although this is called "B-13" in the Soveit Union (and in Russia today)? Perhaps, this gun was used under tha name "B13" in Finland?--114.145.59.235 (talk) 17:39, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The name "B13" is from navweaps website. MKFI (talk) 18:37, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for answer.
Hmm, I see, but there is spelling "B13" only in two places in navweaps website, on the other hand "B-13" is used 11 times. I don't know why there are two variants.
Usually hyphens are used (necessary) in names in the USSR and Russian Federation (for example, T-34, D-44, BM-21, MiG-21, G-5, TK-208, AK-47, AK-176, AK-630 and B-2LM), although they are not used, for example, in Germany and the UK (for example, Bf 109, U-boat U 27 and HMS E9).
There are used "B-13" (Б-13) in www.navy.su page and Black Sea Fleet's page (in English only in Leader "Moskva"; 5 x 1 130mm B-13-2s cal 50).

Navweaps site had the B13 name without hyphen in the title, so I used that. I do not speak russian, so I had to use finnish or english sources. That is also the reason why the "Service in Soviet Union" chapter of the article is so short. MKFI (talk) 12:49, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I don't think that you made a mistake or are misleading.
I simply wonder if there are some mistakes in the site, because there are used spellings with hyphen also in the titles, for example, "B-1" in an other page in Navweaps site, "B-2" and "B-18" here, "B-23" here and "B-34" here. See, please, more info from the list. There are also "AK-xxx", "SM-xxx", "ZIF-xxx" (with hyphen) and so on. There are used spellings with hyphen in the all of pages except the page of the gun pattern 1936 in the site. Furthermore there is only once used "B13" except the title in the page of the gun pattern 1936.
I wonder if there is a misprint (typo) without hyphen...
(I'm sorry I can't translate Russian text to English, although I read in Russian, but "Б-13" in Russian sites means "B-13" in English.)--118.15.136.61 (talk) 13:49, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
