Meaning Of Carronade
n.
A kind of short cannon, formerly in use, designed to
throw a large projectile with small velocity, used for the purpose of
breaking or smashing in, rather than piercing, the object aimed at, as
the side of a ship. It has no trunnions, but is supported on its
carriage by a bolt passing through a loop on its under side.
