Here is an interesting photo of some fired naval 6-inch casings. In early 1942, the U.S. Navy fired over 600 of these to sink the Japanese picket-boat that forced the early departure of the Doolittle Raiders.

Best regards,

Nice photo Randall! That is a lot of steel and explosives going down range toward one target. Thanks for posting it.
