@CliveWardauthor You’ve obviously never been part of the gun house crew in a 4.5” MKVI naval gun during an anti aircraft shoot. You can keep a night with Kylie I’m putting on the anti-flash! #navalgunnery

Boom! The smell of cordite was in the air yesterday as @HMSDuncan completed her 4.5” gun’s installation test firing. As the first shoot in 3 years, this was a banging success for the team! #Fighting45s #navalgunnery

USS Missouri (BB-63) firing her stern 16” guns in 1944. The shells have been captured in flight (top left of the picture). Each one weighted about the same as a small modern car. #NavalGunnery #WW2 #USNavy

Over the weekend I published this essay about the "innovations" a small group of West-European states brought to the venture of #EmpireBuilding, starting in 1415 CE. Key factors: #NavalGunnery & the #HitAndRun capability this gave them on distant shores: https://t.co/VaXtCI8Di5 >

... were a reliance on #NavalGunnery to impose their wills on distant people, & a rampant "Christian" supremacism that mandated the seizure & use of all the resources (inc. human resources) of non-Christian lands & the conversion of all non-Christians (by force if necessary) >
