The 57 55 J or 57 mm, 55 caliber length model Jokinen coastal gun is a Finnish light coastal gun designed during the Continuation War. It the first coastal gun designed and manufactured completely in Finland and was intended to replace the older 57 mm Nordenfelt and Hotchkiss guns, but the design was found faulty and only 11 pieces were constructed. They were used for training after World War II until retired in the mid–1960s.[1]
