I understand that 16 inch guns have a pretty long range.

The "sniper" weapon of the present (not even the future) is where a spotter picks out a target and someone from a distance away either drops a bomb, launches a shell, or sends in a remote drone.

I wish Congress would order the USS New Jersey to a higher level of readiness in the reserve fleet. In fact, the USN has ignored Congress in retaining its capabilities.

No only long range but extreme accuracy as well. Problem is we have no one to produce the required granularity of black powder.
