16 inch bore diameter.

>>33560315

16 inch bore.

Fires a shell that's 16 inches across, like 6 feet tall, and weighs 3-4 tons.

i mean I guess that's kind of big

My bad, close to 3 tons. More than a ton away from 4.

To this day, an Iowa class fully loaded with nuclear shells for it's primary and secondary batteries would be the most powerful warship ever to float.

Probably more powerful than any fleet or navy, too....

It could probably kill billions.
