Visited the USS North Carolina today. It is a self guided tour and there is more of the ship open then other ships I've been on. Fun to walk around.
Looking through the sight of the aft 16"guns. You can kind of see the airplane on the catapult.
16"shell coming up to load in the gun.
Powder being loaded into the gun behind the shell.
Inside the turret.

Powder in the elevator and ready to be lifted up to the turret.
Shell in the lift to go up to the turret. Sorry it is sideways!
