Here is some interesting information I learned when I toured the USS Missouri in Hawaii, those 16" guns are referred to as 50 caliber guns. One caliber is equal to the diameter of the bore, the 50 caliber refers to the length of the barrel so a 50 caliber navel gun with a 16" bore would have a barrel of 800" or 66.666', thats a LONG barrel!! Thought some of you gun guys would find this interesting, I know I did.
