is there an explosive in that or is it just dead weight?

If it is the 1900 lb round then that is the explosive round. The armor piecing round was around 2700 lbs.

im not the smartest person in the room..so i have to ask. isn't the shell the the casing the thing would sit in? i am not very familiar with large projectiles. so that thing would explode as well...so if its armor piecing it just lands and if its not that thing would be filled with explosives and blow up?

When the USS Missouri was moored in Washington they had one of these projectiles on the deck. That picture doesn't really give a sense of just how damn big they are.

Never seen a marine corps f16 before.
And you never will, this is a Navy training aircraft
Was buying a car a few years ago, the salesman was a former Marine, as am I. He started asking me where I was stationed, what my MOS was... the kinds of questions you throw out when you think someone's lying about their service. At least that's how I received it. Told me he was stationed at Miramar.

"Miramar?!" That was a Navy base when I was in. We were Tustin and El Toro.

As we were leaving he said "Semper Fi!"

I was like "what?"

That's my Marine Corps story.

my son is a marine. because of his mos...hes a combat tactical air traffic controller (i dont know the actual name) because of his mos he was always stationed on airforce bases. in japan, korea and in the middle east he was always on non-marine bases. he was lucky as the accommodations are nicer and the food is better.

I was a marine stationed on Okinawa. I met an enlisted chick who was stationed on kadena Air Force Base and we would go to her enlisted club. It was like a 4-star hotel restaurant compared to what I was used to on the Marine Corps Base. Her room she shared with one other girl was like a nice motel room with Carpeting and furniture.... while I was living with four snoring assholes on metal bunk beds. I'm pretty sure halfway houses were nicer.... Lol

I wonder what problems you'd run into if you cruised around in that showing up at various ports around the world.

Most ports will not allow a nuclear powered or armed vessel anywhere near them.

Yeah, it would be difficult to pop out for cocktails, but really really good at smuggling cocaine.
