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!
Admiral Yamamoto infamously said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass."
And so it should be, a nation of riflemen....

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.
