I had the opportunity as a child to tour the USS Missouri while it was mothballed at naval shipyards at Bremerton, WA before Reagan called her back up in the 80's.  We were allowed into one of the upper turret sections of the huge 16" Mark 7s - pretty darn amazing.  Basically the opposite of modern tech guided weaponry - take a huge shell and push it with a huge explosion.
