Cool picture. Every time us Fanatics get together in the U.S. we seem to create an SSR scream machine!

big jim the biggest the U.S NAVY had were 16 inchers,but could cause major damage to anything around it

I better go check my Blue Jackets Manual. Tuff getting old. I thought that Battleships had 24's & 16's whereas Destroyer's had the 16's.

USS Iowa after a 1980 retrofit. Originally (1939-40's) had 12 16" guns. Pix has 9 firing. Notice the sideslip when the guns were fired. Obviously this is a firepower demo.

P/P

Peace

P.S. I can't imagine anyone being able to stand during the gunfire.
I've flown on AC-130 Gunships when the 105 mm gun was fired...the rear of the aircraft skewed about 18" each time.

You better hold on.

The destroyer I served on (DD651) (65-59) Had 5" Guns 2 forward 2 aft. 16's were only on battleships.
