I was onboard during the recommissioning sea trials. They fired the 16's both individually and a broad side. Impressive to say the least. The muzzle blast, the concussion etc. One could actually see the round in flight. A single firing, I was in space that had just been through field day, white glove. The amount of dust that came out of the overhead was also impressive when the turret fired. The Missouri was always a cleaner ship, the New Jersey was a bit of a dirty burt in comparison,
