  • I'll be honest. When the guns went off, I got slightly arroused.

  • the US anti-sonofabitch machine

  • USS Wisconsin is one badass battlewagon!!

  • I'd freakin' lose my hearing if I was near those things.

  • @pizzagirl999 that's pretty cool!

  • In Spanish: From norte del sur: Venezuela: hay una pagina de internet "acero y vapor" que detalla como pudo haber sido una batalla entre el Iowa norteamericano y el Tirpitz aleman en el año 1943, se llama: LA BATALLA QUE NUNCA FUE...

  • Just did a tour of the Wisconsin at the Hampton Naval Museum. I wanted to see what those guns looked like when they fired....wow.

  • LMAO. Dont need a 16" round for the rail guns. A 5" slug already does enough damage from rail guns as is. A 16" round going Mach 7 might just implode the universe lol. Overkill.

  • and 4 to 6 inches thicker armor.

  • Nope, they still have a specialized role: dropping tonnage on coastal targets. There isnt any more efficent way to deliver 2000lbs bombs in this application. 36,000 lbs. a minute. Thats why two of this class, even though museums, are still "mothball semi-ready" to go back into active service if nessecary.
