Introduced in 1942, the 6-inch/47 caliber Mark 16 naval gun delivered exceptional accuracy and sustained firepower, dominating cruiser engagements in World War II. Each gun cost roughly USD 150,000–200,000 at wartime prices, reflecting its advanced metallurgy and fire-control integration. A single round cost about USD 500–1,000, raising a hard question: was naval supremacy decided by strategy—or by who could afford to keep firing? ⚓🔥 🇺🇸 #NavalArtillery #WWIINaval #MilitaryHistory #NavalWeapon
