The 88 was one of the most phenomenal weapons of WWII. The cannon was so effective, they installed them in Tiger tanks. Rommel used them as a direct fire weapon against armor in N. Africa.

This RA-5C Vigilante, BuNo 156627, modex NK610, RVAH-1 "Smokin' Tigers," in late 1978 "lost its brakes and nose wheel steering, heading to the cat, and caught fire." (Thanks to Joe Butler.) The Vigilante was being phased out of the Fleet and this particular aircraft, although still serviceable, was left at Cubi Point, Philippines, as a spare parts source for RVAH-7 "Peacemakers of the Fleet" aboard USS Ranger (CV-61).

Damn, how long did it take for the pilot and co pilot top pull the seat cushions out from between their clenched buttcheeks?

Later, the whole debacle was blamed on Seaman Murphy.

He was on The Nimitz
View of the flight deck of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier after the crash of a Grumman EA-6B Prowler (BuNo 159910) from Marine Eletronic Attack Squadron VMAQ-2 Det.Y "Playboys". The aircraft was fuel-critical after a "bolter" at night and reportedly applied power during the following landing attempt when it suddenly drifted to the right, running into parked aircraft, causing ammunition to explode and starting numerous fires. 3 crewmen and 11 deck personnel were killed, 48 injured. The subsequent fire and explosions destroyed or damaged eleven other aircraft (ca. 100 million US $ damage).
The crash sparked a 5-month debate between Representative Joseph Addabo (D-NY) and the U.S. Navy over whether drug use on board the carrier may have contributed to the crash. Despite being uninvolved with the operation of the aircraft or cause of the accident, the focus turned to testing conducted during autopsies which found that several members of the flight deck crew tested positive for marijuana. Although unclear how it would have affected this incident, U.S. President Ronald Reagan instituted a "Zero Tolerance" drug policy across all of the armed services, which started the mandatory drug testing of all U.S. service personnel.

On 6 November 2013 it was announced that the Royal Navy had signed an Agreement in Principle to build three new offshore patrol vessels, based on the River-class design, at a fixed price of £348 million including spares and support. In August 2014, BAE Systems signed the contract to build the ships on the Clyde in Scotland. The Ministry of Defence stated that the Batch 2 ships are capable of being used for constabulary duties such as "counter-terrorism, counter-piracy and anti-smuggling operations". According to BAE Systems, the vessels are designed to deploy globally, conducting anti-piracy, counter-terrorism and anti-smuggling tasks currently conducted by frigates and destroyers.

She's got a big gun on her bow and a few machine guns mounted on either side.
