Seems the USN is selling their stock of 16" tubes.
Maybe that'll convince the BB-nuts that the Iowa's aren't coming back.
Then again in my experience, logic has never been their high point.

Anyway, how long do you suppose it'll be before they start selling the shells?
Plenty of good iron in them.

I saw this when it came online. And since then nobody offered for them.
Lets not offer, and see if they can become SALUTE guns haha!

Well, the auction isn't open yet. It doesn't do that before Friday next week.
Besides you don't just move 1600 tons of steel.

Thank God.

IIRC the machines used to rifle those barrels was sold several years ago for $1 (one USD).

I know. I don't even think a deep-sea SINKEX of all four could do that.
