This is a picture i took out at the yakima firing range of a little dodge power wagon with cannon...I ran away from the group just to take a picture of it " after i asked if it was ok to do so" We was on base and they had it setting out in a field away from the group...no one else was interested in checking it out...The sarge said sure thing!! and i ran over giving it a good look over..lol

Thanks. The one house with the cannons in the front yard is "The" General's quarters on base. All the houses on that parade field were 3 star or better. I'm not sure what the large building was...a helicopter was about to land in the field so I left the AO. I visited 3 bases that day so I don't remember which one it was.

Here is the plaque for the rail gun. It is located in the Washington Navy Yard at the National Museum of the US Navy.



Another view of the gun...



The USS Barry (DD-933) is also docked there.



Here are a couple of guns inside the museum.





Related but on a different trip I got to do a test ride on an M1-Abrams tank which was way cool!

 

[jbojo]

Cool pics Don!!

 

[hyena429]

Tank time!! Throw back picture of me climing around on a m60 tank, and some more pics i took out at the firing range..Nice little shade tent they built for us out of tanks

Now why in the world is a rail gun in a Navy museum? Hmmmm?

 

[Luke]

I think its probably a ships gun mounted on the rail truck. That my thinking anyways sure someone will let us both know why.

 

[hyena429]

Ya i thought it was one of the german rail gun captures at first over there on the east coast we used for testing.. " was wrong" But it does seem to be packing a 14 incher like the old BB Arizona.

 

[hyena429]

Picture i snapped up at pacific of a Ford GT40 getting on it
