# Hazemeyer gun mount

The Hazemeyer gun mount was a stabilized naval gun mount for the Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, used during World War II by the Royal Navy. It was eventually replaced by the STAAG gun mount.

## Development

Manufactured by the Dutch Hazemeyer Company, the mount provided an alternative to the QF 2-pounder naval gun, as it was designed so that one set of layers aimed the gun, while a second manually stabilized the platform the gun sat on. The mount was self-contained and stabilized. The Dutch Hazemeyer Company was a subsidiary of the German company Siemens & Halske. The mount gained a reputation for unreliability among many naval officers.
