[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 1272571, member: 34925"] Normally I'm smart enough to just read, follow, and maybe learn something from threads like this. However, changing any thing in a series of events will change the events... I wish my Dad were alive. I'd tell him [I]after[/I] I posted this for I know what he'd say otherwise. See he was a gunnery officer during WWII and served on light and heavy cruisers as well as a battleship. I'm thinking that 16" naval cannons--especially in triples--had to fire at differing speeds depending on a bagful of factors. One is what condition of movement (s) the ship was in when these 2000-2300# projectiles were fired at targets up to 22 miles away. I mean a beam shot was different than a stern shot was different than a bow shot (and a 24 knots different than 10 knots). And unlike we the fortunate their targets shot back... Another variable: we attempt to account for capricious winds and other lesser influences not to mention the exquisite and laborious loading of our cartridges, etc. Maybe we should spend some time studying the other end of the forces we release. Surely there must be some effect. I feel safer with [I]some[/I] effect than with [I]none[/I]. Like most of the time instead of always or never. Where is Bryan Litz, Doc Beech at a time like this? Maybe I should have stayed out of the fray and followed their example after all... [/QUOTE]
