Artillery Lovers Group
Hobbies & Interests
Originally applied to any group of infantry primarily armed with projectile weapons, artillery has over time become limited in meaning to refer only to those engines of war that operate by projection of munitions far beyond the range of effect of personal weapons. These engines comprise specialised devices which use some form of stored energy to operate, whether mechanical, chemical, or electromagnetic. Originally designed to breach fortifications, they have evolved from nearly static installations intended to reduce a single obstacle to highly mobile weapons of great flexibility in which now reposes the greater portion of a modern army's offensive capabilities.
Well I'm posting it in both groups, it's long ranged and a Ship :P. Also it was the last BattleShip ever used AAAAND it's a Wisconsinite like me :P.
I thought the last BB was the Missouri.
Anyhow, second-best artillery in the world!
The Missouri was the 2nd last ;).
PS:Whats the first?
Ah, thanks for Clarifyin'

Might be refering to the IJN Yamato, and her sister ship. They had 18inch guns, as upossed to US ship wich only ever mounted 16inch guns or smaller.
