This Gun barrel is from the USS New Jersey(BB-62) is an Iowa-classbattleship, and was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named after the US state of New Jersey. New Jersey earned more battle stars than the other four completed Iowa-class battleships, and was the only US battleship providing gunfire support during the Vietnam War. USS New Jersey served in World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Lebanese Civil War, And the Golf War. How far can a 16 inch gun shoot? Shells of different weights were fired, weighing from approximately 1,900 to 2,700 pounds. The heaviest shell was the AP (armor piercing) projectile, which had a maximum range 42,345 yards from the 16"/50 gun, or 39,000 yards from the 16"/45 gun (about 22-24 miles). The fun is in the hunt, I have found One of the most satisfying things as a geocache is saying “I found it”. A black nano is located somewhere on this massive 118.5 ton battleship Gun barrel Or maybe on one of the two 2,700 pound bullets. Have fun hunting p.s TOTT may be required. good luck.🇺🇸
