Maybe, but this was the baddest-a**ed Mini-Me ever...
I concur! Friends and family served aboard these magnificent ships.
Ever put to see?
Please shut the F up.
My dad was the supply officer on USS New Jersey BB-62 during the Korean war. I still have his cruise books and some other items from that time frame. Pretty cool. I got to go on board when they returned to Norfolk. Pretty impressive for a little kid. Thinkin’ between first and second grade? :-)
The New Jersey created a lot of catfish ponds in Vietnam.
No doubt the best and last of their class. However when reviewing their actual service records, it is hard to define an instance where their presence and firepower was the defining asset that changed the course or result of a battle. Even the shelling of shore fortifications prior to invasions had no doubt some effect but was not definitive. If the big guns did as well as advertised and projected by the designers and advocates, casualities on Iwo Jima and Okinowa would have been much less.
16″/50 caliber s/b 16″/50 calibers
IOW, the barrel is 50 times as long as the caliber of the bore
I hate when things are put to see.
“Put to see?” Are you high, or stupid?
L.P. !
In your time I recollect you have some small experience with Mark 5s?
I had to go to the link to see if this was actually written that poorly.
It was.
While spell-check is your friend, PROOFREADING is moreso.

Eye ran this poem threw it
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it’s weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.
A check her is a bless sing;
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule;
The checker pours o’er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was inn deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are knot maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling

Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier;
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud;
And wee mussed dew da best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
That’s why eye brake in two averse
Cuz eye dew want too please.
Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas.
Oh well. At least those monsters will never be devil defiled by women sailors and lesbo commanders.

There are fireposer videos of the guns going off. Check them out. The New Jersey is in Camden and i took my Dad who served on the Iowa during Korea. There is a large metal housing on the stern of the ship that was completely twisted by the firing of the guns at some point.
They kick alien ass! Saw it in a documentary called Battleship.
