OK gun nuts, here's the biggest ship board gun. The 16 inch gun on a battleship The video is about how it works. It looks like this was the initial training video (film back then) for the big guns. If you're into how things work, this is fun to watch.
(I thought about doing 'White Post II' but then thought better of it.)
But if you didn't want to watch a 10 minute military training video here's a one minute video of a guy shooting hot water out of a water gun at -41 degrees in Canada.

Mike, this was a really interesting find! I wondered what went on under the deck of those naval vessels.
That gun makes a big impression. My, but it is complicated
Duck - Rather labor intensive.
Angel - I'm sure 16" guns have left impressions in a lot of places.
