    Ah yes, weapons demos, fun for the brass, and fun to watch as the brass try to shoot ordnance they never practiced with before.

    Yes... a patrol vessel (a PATROL vessel build for parameter overwatch not direct war) installed with a 203mm cannon with fire rate of 5.000 rpm and portion of few hundred thousand bullet to spare!! God bless anyone dared to posses a threat signal to that thing owner!!

    This reminds me of an old joke.
    Contractor; how many guns do you want on this ship?
    US Navy; Yes.
    During the height of the war in the Pacific the USN put AA guns every there could possibly be fit.

      similarly, durring the design of the A-10 warthog. Fairchild Republic started with the GAU-8 Avenger machine gun and designed an ariplane around it.. They made several design decisions that showed the A-10 as a gun with wings, rather than a plane.
      A prime example was moving the central landing gear out of position to better align the gun. if you look at an A-10 on the ground, you will find that the landing gear is actually to the left while the gun is dead center.

    Ok I will agree overkill. 12 seconds of ammo, then empty? Did ship carry, have ability to reload? Or was that every rd on ship? 8 degree off center aim? Is there any ship that could take 4 hits from that gun in less than 1 minute? With full shielding?
    Make it a 4”, maybe increase speed if practical. Reduce rate of fire?

      I think you misunderstood the story. The ships is gigantic and has only 7 crew members, everything else is just ammo storage. Do you really think they would waste (on a weapons test) all that ammo at once for a demonstration?
