Its interesting to watch nuclear war films such as the Day After and Threads, and the animated films When the Wind Blows and Grave of the Fireflies. The books Alas Babylon, Panic in Year Zero, and On the Beach too. The human condition is both fragile and resilient; a paradox.

How to Change A Gun Barrel: Battleship Edition

Saw them replace the barrel on the New Jersey in 1984. My ship was at the next pier over. The Navy filmed the process so they would have a record.of how to. . Word was they had to locate some retired shipyard workers that had actual experience swapping barrels out back in the 50’s.
