How doesnt it tilt over, damn those things gotta kick a bit

overall mass compensates the recoil

The water on the right side of the ship looks like it's in the middle of Hurricane Ida!

Is this a squeal to battleship or a spin off series?

We have the USS Hornet here in Alameda, CA and the Midway is in San Diego.

Welcome to Imgur, @OP ?

Thank you!

I know warfare has evolved past this to things like cruise missiles, but there's something about a full broadside from a WW2-era battleship.

Check out his kill death ratio! Showoff

For those who would like to see Battleship NJ it can still be found & toured in NJ.

I stared at this for a very long time before realizing that this was the name of the boat and not a meme.

I thought the flames were gravy on mashed potatoes for a second there.

There is a YouTube channel about the battleship New Jersey museum
orbitn
was just going to comment that. it's.. strangely interesting even if you don't like ships

Rearranging the landscaping during Desert Storm?
plymouthvaliant
No, only Wisconsin and Missouri were deployed to Desert Storm.

I did not expect this many views lol, but I am a Contributing member of the Battleship New Jersey so if you guys have any questions lmk!
Demonlettuce
On a scale from 1 to 10, how much boom does a cannon of that size produce
orbitn
Are you Ryan Szymanski, Curator of the Battleship New Jersey Museum?
legodude1712
No lol, but Ryan does amazing work and he is one of the nicest guys you can meet
bkcantthinkofanythingclever
I heard when a battle ship fires its guns all on one side at the same time, they’ll push the ship sideways quite a bit, can’t remember dist?
LTSmasher001
Their YouTube channel is solid too
sentientmeatsack
Do you like lightly fried fish filets?
legodude1712
Tbh not much of a fish guy lol, chicken is where it's at
sentientmeatsack
You're missing out on all those good fatty acids. Make sure you're taking your multivitamins, I'd hate for you to get scurvy.
Kingofkrakens
So since the Iowa's went with an "all or nothing" scheme, how thick is the citadel protection? And where is the nothing?
deputycartman
If you're ever in Houston, TX once COVID-19 has subsided, tour the USS Texas. And the Lexington if you're in Corpus Christi. History!

Some Admiral once said (in support of battleships) "sometimes it's handy to be able to toss a volkswagon 15 miles".

Hahaha!

Especially it being named after Jersey

I mean, it wouldn’t suck for very long…

You're not supposed to suck the canons too.

Im always impressed by the cannon blast recoils (?) They called like that?
orbitn
Guns. They call em guns. For some reason.
3uPr1me
Oof. Mighty guns... even for US Standards
sentientmeatsack
I like the little fishing boats on the left side, is that so the sailors can eat fresh?
Flodos
Lifeboats, probably
plymouthvaliant
Military lifeboats tend to be inflatable. Not enough room otherwise.
Prk5434
They are used to ferry crew from ship to shore in ports where the ship is too large to dock. https://youtu.be/sV6BbzEwKiY
sentientmeatsack
I bet it's for their Friday Fish Fries because I bet all those seamen love lightly fried fish filets. I substitute my reality for yours.
bripi
Do we even have battleships in the US Navy anymore? Not being a dick, I just wonder what purpose they serve in modern warfare. Anyone?
Armeater
Nope, all retired cause they are pretty useless in modern warfare. They were modernized in the 80' to get missile and mostly served as 1/2
Armeater
artillery platform, very good in that role but they were way toe expensive to maintain compared to their little use, so bye bye
bripi
As with all things military, war changes. So do the weapons that wage them. With peace comes good riddance to these behemoths, but I know>
bripi
it's not because of peace, but the changing nature of warfare. So we are past the point of bombardment from sea because of missiles? Seems>>
bripi
like a logical replacement. What use is a shell that travels 20 miles when a missile can do 10x that? Still majestic, these ships were.
Whyismyusernamealreadytaken9
So, how much lootbox was sacrificed to make this ship?
dickable
Took me about 80 Wisdom Cubes.

I had to hit pity.

The last actual Battleship battle in history was 1944. Leyte Gulf. Japan vs. US/Australia.
theklunkster
Since then they have been used numerous times as completely invulnerable artillery platforms
maxmatt02
And Japan got smacked
orbitn
Well, not if i become emperor of all earth, it won't be
Spanked84
Hey, my grandpa was on a destroyer in that battle. I mean, at least for a bit. It was sunk. I think they sent him home for a bit after that.
Spanked84
The stern was blown off near Alaska, too. https://www.history.navy.mil/news-and-events/news/2018/Abner-Read-NOAA.html

Maybe. Most people here in US are oblivious to Australian military support/alliance over the years.
detectivekagami
I’m not! Aus, India, Native Americans, and more made the difference
Widowreaper
My mum's from Leyte. Bit of trivia for u all.
Totallybadassusername
Yep, we know
SubtleOrc
Better Leyte than ever
Nedep
Pffff, we all know where your mum is from pal.

Leyte

Shit, she told me she was on the pill... or ya know, menopause... I... don't know how old his mom is, to make the joke accurate.
siskoisbest
The world's biggest battleship ever constructed goes toe to toe with a few destroyers and gets demolished. Absolutely legendary.
zenoshogun
You seem to be overlooking a significant number of aircraft, same as for her sister ship.
fectin
More complicated than that. Japan didn't talk once they started executing. There was a key task force under Halsey that needed to be...
fectin
lured north, or the Japanese battleships were screwed. That happened just according to keikaku, but there was no confirmation.
fectin
So when the destroyers charged out of blinding smoke, there are two options: 1) They be crazy and suicidal, or 2) Halsey is right behind.
fectin
*Probably* (he never said), the Japanese admiral thought his fleet was lost if he didn't leave right then. Either way, he left.
johnzaku
Yeah between the Yamato and the Bismarck it’s kinda impressive they were both taken out.
jesuisgur
Being the meanest thing on a battlefield is usually not a good idea. Marks you as the main target.
TypeUserName
Well….the Yamato was sent on a suicide mission with 0 air support.
SenOfFiveTails
True, but it also spent most of the war doing nothing but sit in port due to risk of air attack.
johnzaku
Ohhh that’s right
SenOfFiveTails
Nah, not really. Huge ships were largely outdated by WWII. Nations just hadn't quite caught onto that yet. But there's a reason they sank.
Elkarlo77
At the End of WWII when Aircraft were gaining Night Fighting capability. In 1939 not so, mostly light and slow naval Airplanes.
theFBIguy
Too much water inside them?
Level21Magikarp
If only they had buckets
Ihatenumbersinusernames
Both Bismarck and Musashi was taken out by overwhelming naval force. Tirpitz and Yamato got fucked by air.
TheMrrigan
The Musashi was also primarily killed by air assets, and air assets were invaluable in killing the Bismarck
