video of uss wisconsin loading and shooting 16 inch guns
http://shock.military.com/Shock/videos.do?displayContent=164747&page=1
nice vid of the battleship shooting her big guns for the last time in 1991, guns firing one at a time at the begining, then all nine guns firing at the same time toward the end.
the camera shakes when the guns go off.
i believe i read somewhere in my old arty manuals that one salvo from all nine guns could rip up one square mile of land.
danger close for these guns is 1000 meters. i called f-16's once in a call for fire, but i wished i could have called for naval artillery like this, to bad!
