What I love with that picture...

Look at the bow of the ship, the streaks below the water line show the lateral movement of the ship.

Yeah, I noticed that. Must have been something to actually been on board.

Probably gets old if you’re doing shore bombardment though.

I remember reading about a soldier involved in the retaking of Seoul Korea from the port of Inchon. He was near the west bank of the Han river and was taking machine gun fire from a North Korean from the opposite bank. He noticed this “Major” calling in coordinates on a radio. A few moments later what sounded like a freight train rolling overhead and a tremendous explosion erupted where the machine gunner was. The Major was a Lieutenant Commander and forward observer for a battleship anchored in Inchon harbor. The crater filled in with fresh water overnight there in Seoul.
