You might notice the ship moving sideways...
Back on deployment in Operation DESERT STORM, I was over a hundred miles from the bombing going on to the north. I worked OP’s overnight at the base perimeter. It was really quiet, and you could just feel the air pressure changes in your ear from the constant bombardment. Every now and then the slight rumblings would be accented by larger pressure on the eardrums. That was the guns of the Missouri or Wisconsin being put to good use. Not bad for over that distance…
It would have been awesome to be on that ship when it fired. >> I took my dad to visit the NJ here in Philly. He was on the Iowa during Korea. They have a film called “firepower” amazing. and there is a metal housing on the stern of the ship that was dented by the concussion blast of one of the firings.
