But When America needs to to speak, those ships spoke with 14 and 16 inch projectiles.
We visited Hawaii a few weeks ago & took the Pearl Harbor tour, which included the Battleship Missouri. Those guns are intimidating just standing there. And to see a sample projectile which weighed as much as a VW Bug was incredible. I wouldn’t want those guns pointed at me!
Looking at that picture you can tell the Arizona is an old ship. It is not covered with anti-aircraft guns.
