All you ever wanted to know about the Mark 7 16"/50 caliber gun:

http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_16-50_mk7.php

One quote; 'The Armor Piercing (AP) shell fired by these guns is capable of penetrating nearly 30 feet (9 m) of concrete, depending upon the range and obliquity of impact. The High Capacity (HC) shell can create a crater 50 feet wide and 20 feet deep (15 x 6 m). During her deployment off Vietnam, USS New Jersey (BB-62) occasionally fired a single HC round into the jungle and so created a helicopter landing zone 200 yards (180 m) in diameter and defoliated trees for 300 yards (270 m) beyond that.'

WOW!

The destroyer I was on was part of the New Jersey's battle group, back in the 80's.

It was huge compared to the tin can I was on
