    the narrative about the New Jersey being activated for shore bombardment hits me real good right now, since I'm going through a school held onboard my ship, teaching about using the single 5" gun on my ship for shore bombardment..

    We have a single 5" on display. It came from a WWI-WWII built battleship no doubt since it still has the casemate mounting pad attached. The date on her plate I believe in 1914 or 1915. When comared with the duel 5"/38 they look a world different. I'll post a pic of her next week.
