Hi shipmates,

Here's some links for you to see some serious fire-power, the 16 inch guns of USS Missouri. When you click on the first link turn the volume up, it really gives you an idea how powerful 16 guns are, enjoy. BigGrin

3. This footage is taken from the bridge, the shockwave is so powerful that it disables the camera for a moment:

4. This last one is of 2 Iowa Class battleships firing all their guns at a target ship:

When I see these big guns being fired and hear the sound, it makes me think that that's what the sound must have been like aboard HMS Hood firing her 15 inch guns during the battle of the Denmark Strait.
