Powerful 14 inch coast-defense gun to replace 12 inch models
The United States Watertown arsenal completed a 14 inch coast-defense gun. It fires a 1 600 pound projectile at 2 150 feet per second and outperforms the 12 inch gun by about 15 percent in impact while requiring a higher trajectory. The gun may endure 260 to 280 firings before erosion impairs performance versus 80 shots for the 12 inch gun.
