Description USS Iowa.
Colored pencils.

This drawing shows the Iowa firing all 9 of its 16inch guns at the same time. This was almost never done as it was too hard on the structure of the ship.

- Source please...
This was almost never done because it is not useful for fire control procedures...

Stunning work John, I was trying to imagine what it must have been like to be aboard when she gave a broadside like this -it must have been truly stunning and I think you have captured the drama and earth shattering power perfectly.
