Idaho Shooter: Indeed "Wikipedia" verified that the U.S.S. Missouri had nine 16 "big guns"!
The projectiles those big guns fired weighed 2,240 pounds (two thousand two hundred and fourty pounds!)!
The 2,240 pound projectiles from these 16" guns flew for 23 miles!
I bet that is a LOT of muzzle energy!
Let alone the explosive power of those projectiles.
