Go fer ya gun partner
I found this amazing picture on the web today, the full power of the naval broadside displayed in all it's power and Glory.
But what is the ship and who's she firing at ?

It's a Iowa class battleship. Likely just a practice barrage.

Why does the water depression appear to be bigger at the aft guns (3) and the water depression appear smaller at the forward guns (6)? In this picture were the aft guns fired first?

Aft guns appear to have fired first.
I don't think the fore most gun has even fired yet

Judging by the puffs of smoke amidships, some of the five inch secondary batteries are likely firing too.

Too bad we couldn't have lent one of the four to the Royal Navy during the Falklands conflict in '82. Would have helped make short work of the Argentinian Army's entrenched hill positions around the port of Stanley.
