This is the business end of a
battleship. The turret I'm
sitting
near weighs 1700 tons. That's pretty honking big.
These
ships were brought back into service in the 1980's & 90's, but
were
retired after the Persian Gulf war. They are as close to
unsinkable as you are going to get in a ship. Yet all of that
doesn't matter as these are ships from an era that has passed.
