USS New Jersey - BB-62


The awe inspiring impression a few 16-inch/50-inch caliber Mark 7 guns can do to the water when 1.35 ton armor piercing shells are projected out of their turrets at 792 miles per second.

These 1.35-ton armor-piercing shells have the ability to reach out and touch someone at 24 miles. Just an incredible picture.
