USS North Carolina 16 Inch Gun Room
The control room for the 16 inch guns of the USS North Carolina. Within this room were 3 other rooms, where the shells and sacks of gun powder are loaded into the breech. These rooms had doors as thick as vault doors. You can imagine why, and the consequences of being on the other side of those doors if there was a mishap.
