Lol, outstanding
The guns would tear it apart, it needs the water. BUT I like the way you think!

That was my brother's ship. I got a tour below decks once. Simply amazing.

So, the recoil from the guns would physically damage the ship if it was not floating in water and allowed to move and flex? That is some incredible fire power.

Some good YouTube videos on how those guns worked. Amazing technology that I’m not sure we could duplicate today.

Most the older they used for those guns were made in the 30s
Could you imaging with new tech? Plus all those guns were retrofitted at Reagan’s orders in the 80s
They need more advanced weapons
