There is a story from a New Jersey BB-62 vet about when a gun fired with the muzzle a bit too close to a maintenenace shack, the blast buckled the wall of the shack. Still visible in the pictures at that web site: Battleship USS New Jersey BB-62 |
I see the pics on top and that's why I asked. How did those tourist deal with it in the other pic?
