18-inch guns in action! https://www.dropbox.com/sc/qr3s653g5glu ... EB5sB_6DTa This pic comes from the estate of the late IJN Captain Nagahashi Tameshige (Eta Jima Class 49), who was Gunnery Officer of Musashi when she was commissioned. |

Just shock and awe, that muzzle flash must be about 60m long |

Gives one a good idea why some of the light AA guns had to be shielded! Thanks for sharing the photo. |

Are there no photos available of the 18.1" guns in action? I'm not surprised given how secretive the Japanese were about them... Cool stuff regardless. |

Wow, an excellent shot. I wonder if that's a single gun or two/three from the same turret? |
