Systems like that don't exist so much... At least, there are no guns of that size on a battleship that I'm aware of (16").
I know there are much smaller systems now for certain classes of warships. When I was going through my joint fires naval training we talked about a bunch of systems (that are now public knowledge). One of the newer naval guns has a 40+ nautical mile range and GPS guided round - similar to the Excalibur artillery round. Those are mostly automated systems. If I remember right, a full battery salvo from an Iowa class battleship on a surface target could spread out the round impact locations to create a 1Km x 1Km "casualty box". I always wanted the opportunity to employ that system :P On Apr 3, 2016 10:23 AM, "David Milholen" <[email protected]> wrote: > What an AWEsome piece of history. > I wonder how many of those systems are completely automated and how much > faster reload time is ? > > > On 4/3/2016 1:59 AM, Josh Reynolds wrote: > > https://youtu.be/_wT1xkRpCKk > > I love this stuff. > > > -- >
