Another pic of the USS New Jersey fireing a broadside salvo, with people on deck! Not fake. This is a powerful picture.

WOW. I would'nt like to be on the end of that broadside. Devastating, yet strangely beautiful.

Anyone know if there is a dampener system for the recoil? If they fire those about the same time, does the ship roll to which ever side for a moment?

Howdy Steven!
Yes, just like any artillery piece, they have hydrolic dampeners. Or shock absorbers some may be called , to slow and absorb the recoil. The ship realy moves very little if at all.

Garry,
When was the shot (no pun intended) taken. I can see she's fitted with CIWS.

Notice how they are at the end of the deck and (relatively) no where near the guns firing. Heck, those on the bridge are closer to the guns then those on the deck are. Of course they are protected by blast resistant windows.
