Re: 18 inch Gun Tubes

[<RANARV@aol.com>]

            Perhaps I should clear the air on this 18 inch gun thing. I only 
wanted to comment on the hospital ships as a subject. 
            1. The name of the Danish hospital ship who was anchored in the 
harbor at Inchon in 52'/53 was the "Jutlandia". 
            2. Second point was that, serving in WWII in the Atlantic/Pacific 
we saw and worked with the U.S. Navy hospital ships. It was then I was 
informed that an eighteen inch, coastal artillery gun barrel was used in one 
of the hospital ships as ballast mounted to her keel. I do not know the name 
of the ship.

            Comment: It is interesting that the mention of the 18" gun 
sparked so much interest and the source was so innocent.
