In 1969, I had the privelege to watch the U.S.S. New Jersey bombard the coast of the R.V.N. with her 16 inch guns. Each high explosive projectile weighed about as much as a VW Beetle and could be shot with deadly accuracy from about 27 miles away. I guy I worked with who retired recently was a Gunner’s Mate on a DLG and he was in Beirut in the ‘80’s when the New Jersey was brought back to kill jihadis. He told me a great story about being offered TDY in Beirut from his ship to a Navy helicopter where he was a door gunner and got to wast jihadis with his machine gun. Sweet duty that was.
