Показать описание
We needed to lower the guns on Turret 3 for a special event. Here's what the process looked like from on deck. And in case you were wondering, yes - we shot video inside the turret as well! We'll post that soon. For now, enjoy a quick time elapse of a gorgeous Saturday morning on Battleship IOWA's aft deck... and some moving 16" guns!

This is called a "3 gun" turret. Each barrel can elevate independently from each other. If it were a "triple" turret all guns would elevate together.

Looks like STBD rifle hit that -5 deg. depression real quick.

That’s sped-up photography obviously manual. Turrets don’t rotate, either

Bs no longer operable. Slam some fluid in there and fire up the motors and I guarantee it will work again. We knew how to make things that last a LONG time back then.
