The 30.5 cm Mantel Ring Kanone L/25 was a 30.5 cm 25 caliber long Krupp Mantel Ring Kanone. It was a further development of the earlier 30.5 cm MRK L/22. It came in different models. The Chinese Navy used the gun on board the Dingyuan-class ironclads. The Dutch Army used one of these models as coastal artillery. Due to changes in the interior configuration of the gun, this was basically a shorter version of the 30.5 cm MRK L/35.
