The first episode in our "Inside the History" series focuses on the 16"45 caliber MK 6 guns in three turrets on USS Massachusetts, their operation, and historical use. Battleship Gunner's Mate Tom Lowney discusses the operation, comparisons to the Iowa-class 16"50, and battles that this gun system participated in on North Carolina-class and South Dakota-class battleships.
