Been there, done that!
I crewed CH46 and CH 53 Helos for 4 years.. and even got to fly front seat in an AH1W Super Cobra on a gun run..... The video don't do it justice... It also doesn't show what happens if an unlucky animal just happens to be in range or in sight (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) |

Ya YA ya. If you aren't chunking 70 lbs of high exposives and steel 14 miles then you don't know what big guns are. I can put my whole arm down my gun barrel. 5"/54 baby.
New guns on DD(X) are 6" and should be able to hit a trash can lid from better than 50 miles. "If your enemy is with gun range then so are you" Not anymore!!!!! |

Being in the Missouri Battleship Group (Sixth Fleet, back in '87) on my first Persian Gulf cruise, yes, yes I do. However, it makes for less than an exicing New Years Eve display at midnight (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Do torpedos count as big guns? Mine were nuclear and would evaporate a one mile chunk of ocean water in hopes of taking out a submarine. Or the shockwave would take 'em out if we somehow missed (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) DD989 Deyo |
