16" gun training film. And an interesting flak training film as well.

Thought this was interesting. Figured it would be pretty hokey, but it actually is very good.

FLAK. Note the figures they give around the 13:30 mark.

Enjoyed watching this. At the beginning, was surprised to learn that each three-gun turret was crewed by 72 men. I wondered why that many were needed. I soon learned. I also understand better why I'm not rearming my BBs at level one ports. Interesting film, thanks for posting.

I think I posted this video a couple months ago. Still, it's a good overview of the mechanics of the 16"/50 turret. I get skeevy just looking at that ramrod so near the operators' fingers and legs. Eesh...[X(]
