18 inch Gun Tubes



The only "known" 18 inch Gun Tubes[barrels] were produced in the Japan Steel facility, in Hokkaido. They were installed on the Japanese battleship YAMATO. The factory was shelled by the USS Missouri, shortly before the end of WW II. The Japanese were so honored by this attention that some of the holes in the "tin" roof were still there, in 1962.
