Especially naval artillery. A 12lber is about a 4inch bore amd that's waaaay too whimpy for a naval gun. The main armament on the USS Constitution is 24 lber(?). So a 64 pounder almost sounds like a Rodman(?)

Nevermind, I just looked up the specs for a Rodman. 12 inch bore and......225 lbs shell. Love to see the crew fire that three times a minute. They also made a 20 inch rodman.
