I know how to get images... I was just making a stupid remark. Diameter is important but, the 175 was impressive for its length, it also had the greatest range of any U.S. artillery piece. Remember Atomic Annie?
Although retired, the 175 had some legendary exploits during WW2. They were used in direct fire to smash the German fortress at Metz. The Siegfried Line was under gunned, mostly just interlocking machine gun towers. The 175's would be wheeled up, sighted on a tower, fire and repeat.
