Great graphic,dog!

I had the unforgettable experience of seeing the USS New Jersey in action in the South China Sea in the late 60's.

I remember being told at the time that those big guns could fire a projectile the size of a VW beetle 26 miles inland and have it impact within 100 ft.of it's target.

I'm glad the Frisco limp-wrists aren't getting the Iowa,it deserves a better home.
