Looking for the armor penetration of the gun at 20,000 yards as well as the dispersion.
Thanks!

Re: 203 mm/53 Italian naval gun
The deck armor penetration at 20,000 m was 39 mm.
At 17,500 m the longitudinal stripe of 50% of the hits was 110 m (0.63% of the range) with the AP grenade and 107 m (0.61% of the range) with the HE grenade, I haven't the data for the distance of 20,000 m.

GREAT! Thanks. Will still watch for a different opinion just in case.

You are welcome. These data come from the original reports of the tests made by the Regia Marina, used as a source by the late Giuliano Colliva in his three-part article "Questioni di tiro... e altre", published on the "Bollettino d'Archivio dell'Ufficio Storico della Marina Militare".
