Several weeks ago the Iowa hosted a very special event for the SEAL-NSW Family Foundation.
One of the things they did was crank up the barrel of the #2 gun in the #1 turret, and insert some type of "Pyrotechnic Device" in the gun.
Well, I ran across this on YouTube......
Enjoy the fireworks!
KInda cool, but when you think of all of the actual combat live-fires that Iowa has done over her life, this was kinda depressing, too. Good on them for doing it though.
ReplyDeleteNeat! :-) Too bad they couldn't turn the turret and fire a live one out to sea... :-D
