The penetration ability on warship target by naval gun semi-armor-piercing ammunition is analyzed. LS-DYNA finite element software is used to simulate the ricochet, attacking main deck and ship board by Oto Melara 127 mm and 76 mm naval gun ammunition. It is concluded that the critical ricochet angle of 127 mm and 76 mm ammunition is 9.5°and 29°when striking on 15 mm E36 plate in 300 m/s. Both ammunitions are able to penetrate several layers attacking from main deck and ship board. When attacking warships, it is considerable to delay initiation time properly, so the ammunition can enter central cabin for improving damage effect.
