Off limits tour of the USS Iowa

I’m a sucker for stuff like this.

Can you imagine operating this ship under wartime conditions?

Mesmerizing. Let’s crawl through the turret as well.

If you aren’t gobsmacked by the ingenuity and the creative genius of a device like this ship — designed and assembled in only four years (a fraction of what it takes to build a ship today) — then you’re not paying attention.
