26-inch thick armor from Japanese Yamato class battleship pierced by a US Navy 16-inch gun. The armor is on display at the US Navy Museum.
I just thought this was interesting and cool

The Iowa-class battleships really were amazing...those 16in guns fired a shell that weighed like 2200 pounds (about the same weight as a small car) and had a range of 25miles or so. I read somewhere once that when USS Missouri fired a broadside (all 9 main guns at once), it would move the 45,000ton ship 12 feet in the other direction. /boggle.

Oh, and The Pelican Brief and The Client were written by John Grisham I think...

Must get around to watching it, don't seem to watch movies at all recently with this game. Somebody loaned me Wolf of Wall St because I wanted to see it, had to eventually give it back because I had it three weeks, I still haven't seen it lol.
