Be sure to ask to see the Mark 23 shells next time < whistles innocently >

(20kt nuclear device. They built 50 in late 50’s for the 16”/50 on the Iowa Class. )

Just one of the many examples of the Cold War philosophy that if you can turn it into a nuke, you were obligated to do so. Nuclear shells, nuclear torpedoes, nuclear depth charges, nuclear bazookas. If they could have figured out a way to shrink them down far enough, they would have issued soldiers rifles that fired micronukes.
