   for those not familiar with naval artillery - a 5inch / 127mm gun is going to be shooting shells which weigh about 70 lbs (32 kg) each

     @merchantHelios @WashedOutGundamPilot always great when it goes from
     "We have autoloaders because they let us shoot much faster"
     
     to
     
     "we have to have autoloaders to let us shoot period"

     @merchantHelios What’s odd is that a lot of the other navies will have theirs with autoloaders below deck. I’m sure we have plenty of old ones without it, but I’d bet the US just loves making the 19 year olds heft shit I guess
