USN Night Fire , Main Guns WWII

A few photos I had figured I would share them with everyone


The last photo is AWSOME! Can you imagine the sound of those guns going off. I wonder how many navy servicemen went deaf over them. I would imagine they wore earmuffs but still I think the noise must have been something else.

Considering that last photo the guns are at 45 degree, I suspect the targets almost 20 miles away OR they are using partial charges and trying to drop the rounds vertical on the target (reverse hillside or a particular bunker needs breaching.

Deaf

I would give my left arm just to see and hear that so called VW flying over head :stuck_out_tongue:

Me to…:smiley:
