Guns, Guns, Guns
As promised earlier, here is some Gun Pr0n for John and the gang at Castle Argghhh!!! from my trip to Charleston.
Click on the links for hi-res versions.
First off, in honor of the work John did on the twin 40mm mounts aboard the USS John Rodgers/BAM Cuitlahuac, here are some quad 40's.
This quad 40mm mount was originally aboard the USS Franklin (CV-13). It currently is exibited aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-10) at Patriots Point in Charleston, SC
Next up, something "Old School"
This is a 13" coastal defense mortar from the Civil War.
Now, how about a Dahlgren gun from the same era.
Finally, here is a 15" Rodman located at Fort Sumter. This was the largest gun used in combat during the Civil War.
