 The Italians responded by changing their design to take even larger 100-ton 17.7-inch (450 mm) Armstrongs guns.As these could not be fitted to "Inflexible", four examples were ordered by the British Government, two each for the coastal defences around Gibraltar and Malta respectively.Two of these guns still exist, at Fort Rinnella on Malta and at the Napier of Magdala Battery on Gibraltar.
