Guns on the Missouri

These are the world's biggest guns afloat. These are 16-inch guns
that could fire a round weighing either 1900 lbs or 2700 lbs. Six
110 lb powder bags were used to fire each projectile up to 23 miles
with pinpoint accuracy.

There are 3 guns to a turret, and 3 turrets on the battleship.
