They got some crazy little 16 inch, 50-caliber Mark 7s housed in three 3-gun turrets there.

That's the one, Mr. Valiant.
I saw a documentary about the new generation of warships and that thing was featured. I suppose the Navy didn't care who knew about it (or maybe that was the point), but it appeared impressive. Relatively low-cost method of delivering extreme destructive power seemed to be the point. FAX |

I have also read of a satellite version that can crush bunkers. Ideally the satellite one would be unstoppable. Be less lethal than nukes and more accurate. |

Should have been named the USS Mahomes. It would be so much more fitting for KC.
