Muzzle Velocity

The text reports the muzzle velocity of 2,650 fps and the table says 2,800 fps. Can anyone resolve this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomcard (talk • contribs) 18:46, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any pictures of them deployed on shore?[edit]

They were placed on the west coast, any pictures? Did one appear in the Great Dictator?--Teslashark (talk) 15:15, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Caliber conversion is not accurate?[edit]

The USN never used a (410mm)16.1" gun the 16-inch conversion should be 406mm. This can be seen on the largest caliber cannon wiki aswell as the Nav Weps page on it.
