“USS Mississippi (BB-41) fires her forward 14-inch guns, during the bombardment of Makin, 20 November 1943. Photographed from USS Baltimore (CA-68).”

My Dad told me that if you were close to the battleships when they fired their guns, the concussion would make pencils jump six inches off the desk ( he was a radarman on a troop transport ship).
