Sedalia Dave Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Last of the 8-inch Cruiser Guns. Combined rate of fire for the 9 Mark 16 8"/55 caliber guns onboard the USS Salem and her sister ships. Each gun could fire ten 335 lb projectiles a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
