centurion Posted 14 February , 2009 Share Posted 14 February , 2009 Excellent photo - I suspect those are naval big guns having their interrupted screw breeches fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantowi Posted 15 February , 2009 Share Posted 15 February , 2009 According to one of the contributers : "The gun at the center of this photo seems larger than the ones lined up in front, although from the perspective I can't be sure. Either way, I believe that gun in the center to be a 14"/50 destined for the recently launched "New Mexico" class battleships. (New Mexico, Mississippi, or Idaho) The other (presumably smaller) guns might be 5"/51's for the casemate armament." Also if you save and then view the pic, it shows the other side of the work shop as well Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
