Loading and firing the 16-inch/50-caliber guns on an Iowa-class battleship involves a precise, 12-step hydraulic and manual process, allowing a firing rate of roughly two rounds per minute per gun. Key steps include lowering the barrel to 5° elevation, opening the breech, loading the projectile, followed by six bags of powder, ramming, sealing, and firing. #reel #reels #viral #trending #trend Repost courtesy of @ships_and_models_by_ericknavas @battleshipnj | Iowa Class Battleships

The Japanese battleship Yamato featured the largest main guns in WWII history: nine 46 cm (18.1-inch) Type 94 guns, which were 20% more powerful than US Iowa-class 16-inch guns. These guns fired 1,460 kg (3,200 lb) armor-piercing shells at ranges exceeding 25 miles. While superior in caliber, raw weight, and range, Yamato's guns were generally considered less accurate than American counterparts due to advanced US radar fire control. - NatGeo #yamato #battleship #history #show #see | Ships & Mode
