That would be 9 Beetles. The Iowa class had 3 main turrets with 3 16" guns each.

Or death. Although given the range and speed of those shells, it really wouldn't look like anything if you were on the receiving end. Just lights-out all of a sudden.

12?? You mean 9 right? Iowa is armed with only 9 16"/50 guns...

This ain't no Montana Class

Missiles and armed UAVs are lame. Battleships and big guns should be the way solve armed conflicts.

The shockwave on the water sends shivers up my spine. Can you even imagine what it would be like to be anywhere near those guns?
