Foreign Use
Romania eventually received a shipment of the guns in 1943, after the Germans had captured them in France in 1940.
Japan bought a license to manufacture the weapon, which became the Type 96 and was used on most Japanese warships of World War II as the Type 96 25 mm AT/AA Gun.
The Spanish Republic bought these weapons for its Navy in December 1935. Five were received in January 1936 and installed during the Spanish Civil War in the destroyers Jose Luis Díez, Lepanto and Ulloa. After the Civil War, these weapons were used during the 1940s.
