Always striving for ways to make guest experience more fun and more interesting, we decided to open the breech on one of our 16" guns. Now, when you take our gun tour ([ Ссылка ]), you'll be able to see what a 16" breech looks like open and closed.
Hint: it's super cool in both configurations.
Also fun to have retired senior chief Rich Koehnen around to give our team some direction and insider tips. Chief Koehnen spent eight years in the battleship program and is a wonderful wealth of information. (Come see us again soon, Senior Chief!)
