MK45 5" .54 Caliber Light Weight Gun Mount Shooting

USS Hué City firing a "Pre-Action Calibration" Fire (PACFire). Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. A rare opportunity to see the ship's forward gun-mount fire from the forecastle. The video was recorded on a BlackBerry Storm, the incredible sound of the guns seemed to overwhelm the little microphone, so you hear next to nothing when the weapon fires. The ship was moving at about 25 knots at the time. Her aft gun fires first.

Who is your sister, I probably know her.

[DarkSinMan]

Rochelle Cole, she joined around last year.

I do know her! She's in Deck Division. I invited her up to shoot, but I don't think she took me up on the offer.

It's a good rush when the gun fires & you feel it in you're chest, Have a powder canister from the USS Yorktown CG48. Me and my brother were on a tiger cruise back in 2000 & got to load the aft turret for a 12rnd PAC-fire.

[DarkSinMan]

yep that's her.
