Edit #1 Actually the majority of the splashes seen in the photos seem to come from the CA Chokai. That is the particular cruiser credited with the sinking of the Gambier Bay. So if those are splashes from 8 inchers than I can just imagine what a splash from a 14, 16 or 18 inch shell would be like.
Thanks Mate for this nice informations.
I worked it out and it makes you scary when those shells comes down near your boat.

Pictures of that will follow.
