Panama mount

The Panama Mount is a form of gun mount for fixed coastal artillery developed by the U.S. Army in Panama during the 1920s. Widely used during the buildup to and during World War II by the United States military, it was typically equipped with a 155 mm (6.1 in) rifled gun.

The term Panama mount is often incorrectly used to describe other gun mounts with similar layouts and/or purpose.
