I made the mistake of getting lost on Ft. Bragg in 1992 on National Guard duty while driving a deuce and a half by myself which was already against orders but I was late to Guard duty and had to make the drive by myself. I pulled up to the wire at the guard shack to ask for directions and was on on my face before I knew what happened with many a muzzle pointed at me. My commander had to come get me. I had no idea I just pulled into Deltas kingdom. The fence with razor wire and worn in humvee tracks inside it, in the middle of a fenced in area is there for a reason. Back then anyone could drive on base no questions asked in most areas.

Former Sosus Operator in the mid Seventies. Fairly accurate telling, so much more went on, the Illustration’s however are too simplified to rate for accuracy.

[@alanbrown397]

There's a sayin in military aviation: If you get close enough to the enemy to engage in a dogfight, something has gone SERIOUSLY wrong. The ship launching the 16 inch volley is not going to get within firing range of most targets - and it doesn't have enough top armour to protect against inbound missiles which can actively target soft spots

[@berrigo2]

Try getting in range with 16in guns when your enemy has antiship cruise missiles

[@pauldewees7571]

More importantly 16 inch shells can be replenished at sea! Missiles, especially v.l.s. launch Missiles have to be replenished pier side.

[@maxcaysey2844]

One thing to note is, that an Ticonderoga class missile cruiser is a quarter of the size of an Iowa class. If you took like a container ship... filled it with MK41 VLC, you could probably hold more than 1000 missiles..

[@maxcaysey2844]

@@Stellar001100That is actually kind of the design philosophy of the danish frigates. That things come in "container" modules so you can basically tailor the ships for the mission at hand. In reality its a lot more complicated, as you would need to have multiple different container modules and it takes a long time to reconfigure a ship etc. but it is a thing non the less.

I read once that when the New Jersey was off the coast of Lebanon, some of our Marines were taking artillery or large caliber mortar rounds from an adjacent ridge from their position so they called for naval gunfire support from the New Jersey on the ridge from where they were receiving insurgent fire. So the New Jersey unleashes some volleys from their 16" rifles on the offending position. So New Jersey radios hey Marines did that suppress the fire from the ridge? The Marines answered, yea roger New Jersey, except there's not a ridge there anymore lol!

[@dne9394]

Seems like a great job for unmanned submersible gun ships. Imaging a “boat” surfacing 6-8 miles off shore, touting large, auto loading guns, dumping 60-100 rounds onto targets. Then slips below the surface. Retreats and is reloaded.

[@comradeeverclear4063]

Accuracy by Volume

[@stevevaughn2040]

We had accuracy and volume

[@philipliethen519]

Contrary to infographics, the BB’s were not brought back for shore bombardment needs, rather b/c Reagan committed to a 600 ship navy & so many of our cruisers were retiring & building capacity could not fulfill needs, so it was decided to bring the Iowas out & modernize as “real big” missile cruisers, with 16” guns indeed, but also armor sides & deck that could still take absorb significant damage.

[@oculusangelicus8978]

The most effective Armor made by the US and UK is Chobham Armor, now, Imagine a battleship made with Chobham armor. Even if a Anti-ship missile made to the battleship it would likely do insignificant damage. and I think if 16 inch artillery shells meant for Battleships are still in stockpile, something I highly doubt, then it would be to America's advantage to update and redesign the massive guns to modern standards with more powerful explosives and also incorporate Excalibur technology into the shells to make them significantly more accurate and able to track moving targets. Plus there are already experiments being conducted to incorporate Ramjet engines into artillery shells (the XM1155 program) which would incorporate long range capabilities into artillery shells and combined with Excalibur smart technology into those shells a new Battleship could send special shells far from being within enemy reach and still do serious damage to and sink enemy aircraft carriers, battleships, submarines and supply vessels without ever endangering itself. If I could have any influence in this kind of project I think I could generate a Battleship that would be virtually unsinkable, and be an enemy navy's worst nightmare. Plus still be able to go broadsides with any of the world's battleships and come out on top with barely a scratch, send the crew out with some fresh paint to repair the only thing damaged in battle, the hull's paint scheme, and markings.

[@eze417]

[@barneyrice8502]

Exactly Right BUT YOU CAN NOT TELL THAT TO A DEM !!

[@samgray49]

If you really want to be technical, the M16 and M4 are AR-15's. The XM16 was based off of the AR15 which was designed specifically for the Army to create a new weapon to replace the M1 Carbine. It didn't make it, so Armalite released it to civilian while Colt reworked it for military usage, which was later accepted.

[@StiB14thC]

Im 18 minutes done with the vid. Oh i still have almost 3 hours remaining.wew

[@NormanCzerski]

As with modern field guns, rocket assisted smart shells can extend the range for a hundred miles and computer guidance makes them precision. The cost advantage is many time that of a conventional missile. Their velocity also makes these shells difficult to intercept and stealth tech makes them hard to detect. There is also no tell tale exhaust.

[@survivalSC]

Some of those tomahawk missiles are specials that we carry in the subs. So we can always handle and threat.

[@scottsyverson4260]

Why not build the Monitor class of naval ships rather than battlewagons? The role of the Monitor class was to provide inland target support for contested landings, it had little armor and was much shallower in draft so that it could get its battleship caliber guns much closer to shore.
