USSR:
Orfey-class destroyer Engels armed with a 305mm recoilless gun mounted on its stern. It was experimentally installed in 1934, tests weren't satisfactory so it wasn't adopted. Engels was sunk 25 Aug 1941 by mines
The gun was designed by Leonid Vasilievich, a engineer obsessed with recoilless guns mounting them on ships, planes, tanks, etc. He was executed on the 26th of November 1937 during the great purge.
