This video showcases the 16-inch/45-caliber Mark 8 gun chamber and breech section from the USS West Virginia (BB-48), a powerful weapon of the US Military. The gun was aboard the ship during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. Despite being severely damaged and sunk, the USS West Virginia was refloated and rebuilt, eventually participating in the Battle of Surigao Strait, the final naval battle between battleships. The exhibit is now displayed at the National Museum of Military Vehicles. The video highlights a significant piece of naval history and military ordnance.
