Fleet?!?
Dreadnaughts were large warships equiped with heavy guns, they were basically flaotign fortresses that could be moved almost everywhere in the world reachable by water.
Rifles, mortars, artillery,machine guns, tanks,airplanes, warships of many types, submarines, airships and dangerousgases.
a. Ships-of-the-line: The battleships of the sailing days. These ships were the largest of all sailing warships. These battleships carried 64 to 100 guns of various sizes. b. Frigates: The cruisers of the 18th century. These cruisers were next in size, usually smaller than average ships-of-the-line and usually faster. They carried 28 to 44 guns. c. Sloops-of-war: The small sailing warships. These ships carried 10 to 20 guns.
WWI battlewagons averaged 12 to 14 inch guns and were slower moving warships. WWII battlewagons averaged 16 to 18 inch guns/had radar gun control and were faster.
I don't think the quantity of guns were counted. I suppose that there was no time for such thing. But certainly millions of them were produced, taking on account all types of arms, like grenades,rifles, machine-guns,pistols, tanks, missiles, assault vehicles, fighter aircrafts, warships.
What is with you and guns.... ?
