HomeBrew's Military thread

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

Son-of-a-bitch! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Gun :o
The shells were propelled at such a high velocity that each successive shot wore away a considerable amount of steel from the rifled bore. Each shell was sequentially numbered according to its increasing diameter, and had to be fired in numeric order, lest the projectile lodge in the bore and the gun explode. Also, when the shell was rammed into the gun, the chamber was precisely measured to determine the difference in its length: a few inches off would cause a great variance in the velocity, and with it, the range. Then, with the variance determined, the additional quantity of propellant was calculated, and its measure taken from a special car and added to the regular charge. After 65 rounds had been fired, each of progressively larger caliber to allow for wear, the barrel was sent back to Krupp and rebored to a caliber of 238 mm (9.4 in) with a new set of shells.
Now that's good ol' German (over-)engineering right there!

If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

Do you remember what time frame it was after WWII when the US converted all their carriers to the slant decks for catapult launches and the main deck for landings? Had to be early-mid 50's. I don't remember.

It was this class, Essex Class. Watch the first video he speaks of it.
